Paying For Your ServicesThe Pain Center has professionals on staff who specialize in preauthorizing payment for services prior to your appointment. The staff works closely with Workers' Compensation, private insurance carriers, Medicare/Medicaid and most HMO plans.
Generally, the staff is able to obtain the necessary payment authorization from your insurance carrier and take that worry off your mind. However, in the event your claim is denied, you will be notified and someone at the Pain Center will work with you to make other payment arrangements.
