The Center for Pain Medicine provides a comprehensive approach with
multiple treatment options to treat individuals who suffer from chronic pain
associated with an injury or illness.
Please call the scheduling line for the clinic in your area to start the
process of becoming a patient. Be sure to notify the scheduler if
you have a current referral from a physician. If you do not have a
physician referral you will be asked a couple of brief questions, which
the physicians will review in order to make sure that you are a
candidate for our pain medicine practice. For those without a
physician referral, our pain physicians will make the determination of
whether or not to accept you as a full time patient only after the
initial consultation.

Financial Arrangements
Please bring sufficient insurance information with you. Depending upon
the type of insurance and your policy, hospital benefits can vary. We will
do our best to ensure that you get all the benefits that your policy allows.
Here is a list of our insurance providers:
Insurance: Finding an insurance carrier on this page
does not guarantee coverage. Please refer to the specific carrier's policy
on matters concerning pain medicine / management.
We will bill your insurance on your behalf as a courtesy to you. Although
your insurance may pay a portion of the bill, it is your responsibility to
pay for your deductible and your co-payment amount.
For patients without insurance, payment of the estimated bill is due
prior to time of service. For further questions, please call Florida

When you call to report pain concerns, a message will be taken by the
receptionist. You will be called back at the end of the day or when the
staff is not busy with other patients. If you feel your symptoms warrant a
doctor's immediate attention, go to the Emergency Room closest to you.
Prescription Refills
Medication refill requests must be submitted during regular office
working hours only. Refills must be called in 24 hours in advance to allow
time to process your prescription. Refills called in on a Friday will be
available Monday afternoon.
Certain medications may require office visits in order to obtain refills
while other medications can be called in to your pharmacy.
