Need a pain clinic
- Thread starter tanebru
- Start date
since most pain clinics DO require a referral from a doc,going to a primary and asking them who to go to would probably be the best way to find one in your area and with your insurance too. even if your health ins doesn;t always require referrals,getting into a PM is very different in nature just because of what is dealt with and used for PM with alot of them,so they do not simply take in everyone who just wants to be there,you know what i mean? so you do, in most cases have to be referred by some level of real doc in order to be seen at one. you could possibly obtain that referral from that last PM you were seeing since it sounds like you had already been seeing one before you moved where you are now? just one suggestion that could save you some hassle. hope you can find a good one. please keep me posted.

Mary,
Feelbad is right. Also, it varies from state to state on PM clinics also. THere is also a PM board here. If you post your question on that board and tell where you live, you might get a better response. There are alot of folks who frequent that board who are CPers (feelbad and myself). So give that board a try also.
Good luck.

Thanks guys
It has been my experience that I have to find a dr. first and then get my main dr. to write a referral. Like with my reg. dr. --- he can't tell me the name of a dr. in our new area --- even though it is only 2 1/2 hrs. away.
BUT, I must add, my last pain dr. took me in ------what I have found, if I want to go to a certain dr --- I can and then THEY will contact my dr. for a referral.
But I will take your advice and try on the PM board. Thank you for your responses.
