Pain Management Doctors In And Around The Baton Rouge Area That Prescribe Meds To People Who Really Need Them & Accepts Medicaid (Page 12)
UpdatedDoes anyone know of a doctor in and around the Baton Rouge Louisiana area that will prescribe pain meds that takes Medicaid? I'm seeing a doctor now in Maryland but I really need to move back to Louisiana very sad that your pain keeps you from moving. I have a sister that is terminally ill and sad to say dying...and meds are keeping me from going to take care of her in her final days. Please help
Hi Britt, I'm and was in the same position my doctor just left the place I was Seeing my visits at to Open his own practice; at and had to find a new Pain Management Doctor in less Than a Month this was over a year ago, I have 5 kids and one son with Autism I have 2 torn discs in my lower back, Lower back pain with Pain down both legs and Neck Pain, & suffer from Anxiety- Social Anxiety, you can try the place I'm going to I have to self Pay though first visit was I think was around $475, than $275 month after that, they have several offices. Not sure if they're taking new patients but here's the Doctor's office info: Louisiana Pain Specialists, 504-754-2334 Locations in Kenner 231 West Esplanade Avenue, Suite B, Kenner, LA 70065 (New hours only open on Thursday's & Friday's at this office), Marrero, New Orleans East, New Orleans, Metairie, Louisiana, if they have appointments available first but just be prepared with all info from previous doctors MRI's and your Pharmacy printout of medications your currently taking :) Also there is a Doctors office in Slidell I've been informed of when I find that office information I can forward it to you they just require all info faxed to them before they make an appointment with you which is after your faxed info, takes 2 weeks for an appointment.... Hope this helps if you're still looking for a Pain Management Doctor, Good Luck & God Bless! :)

Love, have you tried University Health Hospitals or other ones connected to L.S.U. Medical School ? They all tale Medicaid. I am assuming that you live in Louisiana. If you don't, look for hospitals connected to Medical schools in your state.
I have a question regarding neck pain and numbness in my right hand, the thumb and first 2 fingers, I already have lower back & neck pain but numbness nonstop is new for past 2 weeks, in December I slip and fell down on the right side of my back on tile flooring pain Management doctor suggested a steroid inj. when ever I can afford it. Since insurance will not cover EMG tests or other imaging testing I can't afford those I'm not sure if this inj. will help it's an odd irritating feeling I'm using a heating pack and some at home stretching of neck muscles, I'm just looking for help, maybe going to a chiropractor ? Will help relive the pain in my neck and numbness in fingers, it feels like I need to loosen up or crack my back to relive this irritating pain, thank you for your advice in advance...
Alexis B, it sounds like you may have injured or irritated some nerves. I would not recommend a Chiropractor because they could do you more harm than good. It may or may not go away on its own.
Thank you BL I really do appreciate your comment, I was thinking it may be that and I don't like the chiropractor it hurt last time I went to one, I might just try the steriod injection for first time in my neck, it's just giving me anxiety with this numbness , thank you again hope you have a blessed day! :)
Alexis B , what kind of insurance do you have that won't cover EMG's and other imaging tests. Since the thread topic mentions Medicaid, if you have Medicaid, it will cover EMG's and imaging tests. But, the dr has to believe that it is medically needed and write the orders in a way that insurance will approve it. I have heard several drs tell patients that their insurance won't cover tests, when that is not correct.
I use suboxone for chronic pain. Some people use it for chronic pain
Dr gray barrow give you anything that will help fantastic Dr
Michael Howard accepts Medicaid
hi could you tell me where this doctor is located?
brandy , where is MIchael Howard located ? When was the last time
you saw him ? Dr. Michael T. Howard, a General Practitioner died April 8, 2014. Is this the same Michael Howard ?
Red, Dr. Gray Barrow, specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation. He accepts Medicare, but I can't find that he accepts Medicaid Only.
Do you know of any sub doctors that accept medicaid
Chance, if you are taking it for chronic pain, any dr can prescribe it. Louisisna Medicaid does not pay Pain Management Drs for the management of chronic non cancer related pain.
If you are taking it for drug addiction, you can only see certain drs. Call you Medicaid Health Plan and ask for the name of drs.
You know, I have Medicare & im about to get a pain pump due to reoccurring stomach & intestinal cancer. My mom has THE SAME CANCER, was denied SSI SSDI & Medicare but the Medicaid open market is her insurance. They have people listed in the book but when you call: Nope. No self pay either. So my pain doc in Covington said for her to look for a PM & R (Physical Medicine & Rehab also known as a psychiatrist) & he KNOWS in New Orleans those take Medicaid. I'll be getting on that Monday. And Dr. Lee in Hammond with API told me to "move where 'cannabis' is legal" when I consulted with him. I turned his ass in. Who says that? Are you advocating she do that? Are you paying for my move? Are you aware (which I don't agree) that marijuana has no "medical value & will be labeled a schedule 2 drug just as illicit drugs & pain meds are" according to the DEA - soooooo, Dr. Lee, the DEA is wrong? Ah!
Your Mom is more than eligible for ssdi.Please contact Peter Lemoine ssi attorney.
Hillsboroughm Louisiana Medicaid will not pay or a Pain Management Doctor. They will pay for other doctors to write pain medications if you have chronic pain, if you can find a Medicaid Provider that will do that.
It takes much more than a diagnosis to be approved for SSDI or SSI. Your mother does not have the medical and non medical evidence proving her impairments are so severe they restrict her ability to do Activities Of Daily Living or she woud have been approved. Unless she does not meet the SSI financial criteria.
