Frequently Asked Questions for Patients
We accept most major insurance plans. Please visit our Billing & Insurance page to view a list of plans. If you do not see your insurance plan listed – please contact your insurance company to confirm.
Treatment will depend on your condition. Please visit our Services & Treatments page for a comprehensive list of the procedures that are performed in our clinics. Treatment may be provided along with ongoing physical therapy and medication to relieve pain.
Your first visit to Carolina Pain & Spine is for a consultation. A doctor will speak with you, examine you and discuss potential treatment options. If you have been referred by another doctor, information about your visit to Carolina Pain & Spine is made available to that doctor throughout your treatment.
It is our policy NOT to prescribe narcotics at the time of an initial consultation.
If you are visiting us for the first time, please bring the following:
- Any X-rays or MRIs taken for your current pain problem.
- Any report(s) from other doctors about this problem
- Location specific patient intake paperwork
- Insurance cards and photo ID
If you are not able to print the new patient paperwork, you can complete it when you arrive at our office.
Although most of our patients are seen as a result of either your primary care physician or a specialist making a referral, we do accept most self-referrals. If that is the case, you can call the clinic location of your choice and ask for more information on how to make an appointment.
Of course, if you are able to have a doctor refer you, this will provide us with more information and can help expedite your appointment.
