Pain Management of Texarkana
Our clinic does not accept insurance, however if you have commercial insurance (i.e. Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna etc) you can file for reimbursement from your insurance company. Just because we do not file insurance on your behalf does not mean that you cannot do so. However, if you have Medicare or Medicaid you cannot file for reimbursement!
We choose to not accept insurance as we like to emphasize quality of care over quantity of patients seen. We spend more than 2-3 minutes with patients to address the issues causing pain. All new patients are scheduled for 30 minute appointments to allow the proper amount of time to develop a personalized pain management plan. This goes hand in hand with our mission to help those who suffer from chronic pain to obtain a higher quality of life.
Contact our scheduling specialists at 870-779-1185 between 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday. If we are unavailable leave a message and we will return your call. You may have your providers send your records or we can email a medical record release to you so that we may obtain your records.
