Pain Management Doctors In And Around The Baton Rouge Area That Prescribe Meds To People Who Really Need Them & Accepts Medicaid (Page 14)

Does 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

Rita, Louisiana Medicaid will not pay for a Pain Management Doctor. Most primary doctors that accept Louisiana Medicaid won't prescribe pain meds for chronic pain. You need to contact your Medicaid Health Plan or start calling Primary Care Doctors in your area to see if they accept Medicaid and if they are accepting new patients. If you call your Medicaid Health Plan, they will give you the names of doctors that accept Medicare and Medicaid along with doctors that accept Medicaid Only. The only way to know which doctors accept Medicaid Only is to call them yourself.

They have sooo many PM doctors who will allow self-pay. They don't take cash anymore but accept credit/debit card or money orders.

Do u realize that u are constantly contradicting urself? Please stop responding to posts. It's annoying that every other ones is you. First I repeatedly post Medicaid does not pay for PM doctors! Now ur saying a doctor may prescribe medicine for chronic pain but not many of them. Then ur questioning why someone receives Medicaid and can afford to pay for PM. Are you a CPP???. I am. I have Medicare and Medicaid. My insurance covered my doctor visit for years until my doctor left his practice. Unless ur a CPP and know what it's like to live with debilitating pain every single day, u have no right to judge anyone or their circumstances much less how they would be able to afford paying for a PM doctor when they receive Medicaid. Do u know how many CPP have to pay cash for their visits? Too many...many of those patients have to give up medicine they receive from their PM doctor in order to find money to pay for the visit. Thankfully I am married and don't have to worry about that but ur no one to judge.
According to you:
Louisiana Medicaid will NOT pay for PM doctors. Yet several people have posted names of pain management doctors who do! Any doctors can prescribe pain medicine but not many do for chronic pain. I'm simply stating what u have so everyone remembers not that u give us a chance to forget.

Actually Oxy Contin does have to do with oxytocin. Oxytocin is produced by the body naturally to help with regular pain management. Once a patient is on heavy pain medications such as methadone, Oxycontin, etc., ur body no longer produces oxytocin the way it should. As long as a person is on pain medicine is how long it will take for the body and brain to reprogram itself. If someone's on pain medicine for 10 years, it takes just as long off of them

I worked with those receiving Medicaid and other government assistance for many years. Medicaid is based on income. So is Medicare Savings Program which helps low income individuals on Medicare pay their Medicare Expenses.

Re: Jen (# 270)

Medicaid with Medicare is Not the same as Medicaid Only. When someone has Medicare and Medicaid they see providers that accept Medicare and Medicaid together. But, it is Not up to the State Medicaid Program which providers Medicare Beneficiaries can see. When someone has Medicare and Medicaid, Medicaid can help with co/pays, deductibles and Medicare Premiums. With Extra Help, Medicaid can also help with the cost of prescriptions drugs.

Louisiana is the only state that Medicaid does not pay for Pain Management Doctors. Each state decides what providers, treatments, etc their Medicaid Program will and won't pay for.

You have two choices. Travel once a month to your doctor or just have your doctor give you your medical records that’s he/she has been treating you and you should be fine.. Without your records you won’t even get your foot in the door.. I’m so sorry about your sister..It’s painful to watch our loved ones suffer.

I have been seeing a pain management dr for 5 years and also just had hip replacement surgery a few months ago. (I live in Baton Rouge LA). When I went back to my PM I was honest with him that I tried marijuana (had never tried it before-and I’m 59 yrs old) I won’t be doing it again! However he dropped me as a patient. I desperately need to find another doctor soon and I’m scared to death I won’t be able to! I know it was a stupid choice I made. I
need pain management for severe conditions and need any advice you can give me. Thank you...

Re: BigMistake (# 274)

You need to get a copy of your medical records from your last pain management doctor and read them. You will have to pay for the cost of copying the medical records. Depending in what your doctor wrote in your medical records. It may be difficult to impossible to find a doctor to manage your pain. A new doctor will want a copy of your medical records from your doctor's office.

Louisiana is cheating the people it is not fair that they do not cover pain management and that they take their good old time to accept you for disability. Louisiana people are getting screwed. Shame on Louisiana
