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.
