Why Internal Medicine Physicians Are Adding Interventional Pain Procedures

Primary care physicians are uniquely positioned to address the chronic pain epidemic, with patients seeking comprehensive solutions from their trusted internists.

  • Address Chronic Pain In-House: Your patients already trust you with their care. Adding interventional pain procedures allows you to treat common conditions like arthritis, back pain, and tendinitis without referring out.
  • Reduce Opioid Dependence: Interventional techniques offer effective alternatives to long-term medication management, helping you address pain while reducing prescription drug risks.
  • Insurance Reimbursement: Pain management procedures have established CPT codes and are typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers—adding a profitable revenue stream.
  • Improve Patient Retention: Patients prefer receiving comprehensive care from their primary physician. Offering pain management keeps patients in your practice instead of sending them elsewhere.
  • Diagnostic Revenue: Add NCV/EMG testing capabilities to diagnose neuropathies and radiculopathies—conditions you see regularly but currently refer out for testing.
