Center for Pain Management

Medical Records

Certain medical records must be in our hands and reviewed by our medical director before an appointment is scheduled for you.  These records include recent office visit notes with your primary care physician or other physician(s) who have been treating the condition for which you are requesting an appointment to see us, a complete list of current medications, notes from previous surgeries/procedures related to your pain, radiology reports from X-ray, MRI, or CT exams (films very helpful as well), and insurance information.  A referral from your primary care physician, if deemed necessary by your insurance carrier, is also required.  Additionally, if you have been treated at a pain facility before, we will need to have those records for review.  Once we have these records on hand and reviewed, we will be happy to schedule an appointment for you with one of our physicians.  No patient will be scheduled for an initial visit without providing all of the appropriate records first.  You can call your primary care physician or specialist’s office and request that they fax or mail us your records, but it is ultimately your responsibility to make arrangements to get us the complete list of records.  Our office staff is not responsible for procuring your medical records.
