What you should know prior to choosing the right Pain Management Clinic
Before you make your final choice about the best clinic for your needs Here are some factors to think about. It is important to find out whether the doctors are board-certified and are trained in their area of expertise and also if you feel at ease with the physician and the clinic. After you've decided on the pain management clinic that is the best for you, make sure you fully understand the pain management contract you will need. After all, this is the doctor who will manage your pain management and provide relief from chronic pain and aiding you in regaining your health and productive ways.
Board-Certification and Training and Client Feedback
There are currently no established standards for the types of services that are provided by Pain Clinic. It is essential to find out whether the clinic you're going to is staffed by an expert in physical rehabilitation and a coordinating physician as well as a psychiatrist. If you are suffering from depression because of chronic pain, it is important to verify if the doctors you will be working alongside are board certified in the field of pain management.
Ask your primary care physician if he or she has any recommendations on clinics and the doctors who work there. Reviews can be found from patients who have been treated by the doctor online. Are there negative or positive comments about the information? If there are negative or positive comments about the physician which are they? List the pros and cons of every doctor and clinic you visit. This will allow you to identify which clinics and physicians best suit your needs.
The level of comfort and consistency
Other factors to look into is the degree of comfort that you feel when first calling chronic pain treatment clinic. Was your call returned by someone who was a kind, patient and knowledgeable answer about the doctor who might be accepting new patients, and which doctor is specialized in the type of pain that you are seeking relief from and the availability of the physician? An inquiry to a clinic for general information was answered within a matter of hours in the event that you left an unspecific message. After speaking to the clinic and asking most basic questions, it's crucial to know if the clinic takes your insurance policy and the hours of operation. The hours and information about insurance will also help you to best determine if the clinic will fit into your schedule.
Contact your first contact and determine what time you are able to speak over the phone with your doctor. This will allow you to determine if there is an appropriate communication avenue to meet your needs. Additionally, you must determine if the doctor is willing to communicate with you. The next step is to schedule an appointment for your initial evaluation in person.
You need to be comfortable and open with your physician in order for he or she to be able to assist you, so don't just "settle" with the first pain management clinic that you talk to. It is recommended to talk to at minimum five different clinics in order to get a sense of what you can compare by asking the same questions to each clinic that you speak with.
The process of signing an Pain Management Agreement
Once you have decided which pain management physician you will be going to, you will be asked to make a commitment to pain management which is the agreement between you and your physician. It is crucial to sign this agreement for both you and your doctor. This contract is intended to make sure that you do not abuse opioids when prescribed by your physician.
In any agreement or contract you sign, be sure that you are aware of the terms you're signing. This will give you a better understanding of what the terms of the contract cover. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about the contract. He will explain the contract in the most precise gentle, patient, and comprehensible manner. If you are still unsure about what you are signing, write down your questions and ask your primary care physician to clarify. Keep in mind that just because the agreement is before you doesn't mean you have to make a decision at that moment. Send a message
