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

Almost all, if not all pain management doctors accept Medicare/Medicaid in Louisiana. Medicaid when you have Medicare is not the same same as Medicaid only. The link below is a good place to start looking for a doctor when you have Medicare. Having Medicaid when you have Medicare does very little, if anything to limit the doctors you can see.

Bayou Health was the name of the Louisiana Medicaid program until Louisiana expanded Medicaid. The name of the Medicaid program has nothing to do with what Medicaid does and does not pay for.
Louisiana Medicaid has never covered Pain Management for chronic pain.In recent years fewer and fewer private doctors accept Medicaid. Medicaid pays very little for reimbursement. Medicaid Primary Care Physicians (PCP) and other Medicaid doctors can prescribe pain medications for chronic pain. But, Louisiana Medicaid advises against it.
The disability process is complicated. It takes time for information to be gathered and evaluated. DDS adjudicators want your case off their desk as quickly as you do. As soon as your case is off their desk there is room for another one. It just takes time. Hopefully you will hear something soon.

There is 1 doctor in the entire state of Louisiana that practices pain management and he is in Vidalia,La. And understandably according to reviews, has developed a very Godlike attitude and may or may not grant you his services.
Thinking of moving to Texas, personally.

Re: Rlane77 (# 6)
Suboxone is a great pain medicine. You don’t get a mental high from it. I take suboxone and have had 2 spinal fusions and currently have 3 fractured discs in my thoracic spine, I don’t feel any pain; however, if I don’t take suboxone for a few days and take regular opioid pain medicine, I am in a tremendous amount of pain, debilitating many times. Suboxone is I think 20 times stronger than morphine…thing is, you become reliant on suboxone, it’s more difficult to get off of if you choose too. It stays in your system for 14 days, and the withdrawal is worse than other opioid withdrawal. If I knew then what I know now about taking suboxone for chronic pain, I think I would’ve just stuck to the opioid pain meds, easier to detox from. Yes, I know this thread is many years old.
