Kansas City Mo Pain Medication Prescribers

I am uninsured and have a referral to a pain management clinic, but cannot afford the clinic. I would like to know of any cheap doctors who would prescribe the narcotic pain medication I need to be on in the Kansas City MO area.

Hi, Kat! How are you?

I'm sorry, but under the new regulations that were put in place this year, if you require narcotic pain medications on a long-term basis to treat chronic pain, you're going to have to see a pain management specialist. PCPs are no severely restricted in what they can prescribe, how long they can prescribe it and why they can prescribe it.

Do you qualify for any type of assistance to help paying for the clinic?

Hello Verwon, thank you for the reply. I am currently trying to get Medicaid but I know the clinics do not take Medicaid and only take cash or will reimburse (some) insurance. I do not have insurance, and am trying to get a job, but my pain and body will only let me do so much work. Money is a big issue. I did find a clinic that cost about $250 for first visit, and then $100 for every visit after that. That is actually the cheapest I have found. I was just hoping someone on here knew of a clinic that was cheaper or other options I might have.

I am also in the kc mo area, and have also been with my Dr for a few years, but we have came to a fork in the road, and she knows that I am without insurance and I simply cannot afford the extended version of my meds, and she refuses to increase the number,which my rph says is common but up to my Drand that's my issue, though I don't want to change I feel I have no other choice if I am able to find a more accommodating physician, surely you all know how hard that is, most dr don't want to write it, alone prescribe, since so many have misused pain meds, and its the ONLY WAY to treat pain, by narcotic medicine! So any help finding a. good dr that listens and cares about treatment without over scrutinizing please let me know if I can contact you...

You MUST GET A "Pain management REFERRAL" from your doctor! THEN find a pain management clinic to FAX THE REFERRAL (this is something your doctors office must do.) the pain management clinics will help you get the injections/pain medicine/ and surgeries if needed. But you have to get a referral. If you have Medicaid there are clinics that accept that in Kansas NOT in Missouri, so I just drive over the border to my doctors office. Good luck, I hope this helps because I understand your pain and frustration.

I have the same problem I live on carrollton outside of kc. I have no life because of pain rejected for Medicaid and to poor for insurance. I always get the same crap going anywhere them treating me like I'm a junkie. I don't even ask for meds I just go in and tell them about my back problems and o then get the cold shoulder. Personally I think every doctor should have to live in pure agony for a time so they can understand the challage

I am on Medicaid now and dealing with similar issues. There is a pain mgmt clinic in Cameron that accepts Medicaid and Dwayne Jones also does. Jones has multiple offices but only sees Medicaid patients in Blue Valley I think.

Hi, I am actually from out of town and have carelessly left my pain prescription in Arkansas after a very back car accident I have a week ago. I saw that you mentioned being able to help get a prescription for another woman that posted on this thread. I just need enough to get me through til I return home from this NFL game. I don't know that I'll be able to walk without some sort of management. My muscle relaxers aren't doing any good for me at this point. Any way you can help?

Re: Drakee (# 125)

Honest to God, get yourself some kratom powder. And Red vein will help. I was on 300 mg of oxycodone a day. I wasn't "fine" but kratom powder took away 75% of the withdrawals. It helped with pain too. Honestly, it's the greatest all natural herbal supplement you can get. It's legal in most states. For immediate relief I know a lot of "smoke shops" sell it. It's more expensive that way. I order powder on the internet from a few reputable sources. Gaia botanicals seems to give the best value for the money. If you want more information Google the kratom bible. It gives you a lot of information from dosages to what strain helps best for your condition. I know this post is a couple months old, but I hope it finds you. Eventually 90% of chronic pain patients for back, neck pain are going to lose opiates as a tool. Not fair....not right. But people need to be prepared with something to help. Withdrawals from opiates ended up being worse that than the pain. If you try it and it helps, please sign petitions to keep it legal. The DEA is colluding with big pharma to ban it. They can't patent a plant, ergo they can't make any money on it. Regardless, if you're in a bind give it a try. Best of luck.

Re: cariee (# 8)

What is your Dr's name and is she taking Medicaid? Do you have to have a referral? I'm in severe pain from a wreck that messed my back up for life. Now I need to find a Dr close to Nevada/Missouri who is taking new patients & will write prescriptions without having to have a referral.

Ask your PCP would be able to prescribe your meds and have greater flexibility if you were to be on Palliative Care. I think it’s going to become the wave of the future for persons with chronic pain. If he says yes then I’d ask him to put you on Palliative Care and see what he will prescribe you. If he says u don’t qualify them remind him you do. It is exactly made for persons like us. Make sure u bring up the difference between Palliative Care and hospice.
