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

AlexisB, It is unusual for someone on Medicad to be able to pay a Pain Management Dr in Louisiana. Louisiana Medicaid won't pay for a Pain Management Dr.

vickie, when someone here asks about Pain Management they aren't referring to Chiropractor. Chiropractors aren't doctors. Some Louisiana Medicaid Health Plans have incentives to get you to join their heath plan. One of United HeathCare's incentatives is 6 visits to an in network Chriopractor for those over 21. Louisiana Medicaid won't pay a Pain Management Dr for the management of chronic non cancer related pain.

Amber, if you have Bayou Health, Medicaid won't pay for a pain management Dr. Although you may be able to find a regular Dr to manage your pain, but it will be very difficult if not impossible.

Suboxone can only be prescribed by certain drs who are trained it it's use. Suboxone is not used to treat chronic pain, it is used to treat drug addiction.

I stand corrected. The letter to providers doesn't specify Shared Savings Plans, but the website does.
As far as Louisiana Medicaid paying for the management of chronic pain, it doesn't. If the dr is a member of a clinic, their services are billed under the clinic or another drs name.

Darlene, Medicaid will pay for pain meds but it will not pay a Pain Managment Dr. Call the Pain Management Clinis in your area and tell them you have Medicaid. Call your health plan and ask them for the name of Pain Managment Dr that will take Medicaid. Just because a dr can write a rx for pain meds does not mean that they are a pain managment dr. PCP's and other Medicaid providers are stopping treating chronic pain patients that receive medicaid because of the government penalities for high prescribers of pain meds. Louisiana Medicaid pays almost nothing compared to other insurance and self pay. It is not worth it to the drs.

Shanna, you can't find a dr who accepts Medicaid by looking in the phone book. They mut accept Medicaid and be a member of your health plan. Louisiana Medicaid will not pay for a Pain Managment Dr. You may find a dr who is not a pain management dr who accepts Medicaid and is on your health plan that will write your pain meds, but it is doubtful. Medicaid patients in Louisiana have to pay cash if they want to see a Pain Management Dr.
