PRACTICE TRANSITIONING

BEGINNING 1 MAY 2018, FOR CARE PROVIDED IN TENNESSEE, WE WILL PROVIDE PRIMARILY INTERVENTIONAL  NON-OPERATIVE MANAGEMENT FOR   BOTH  NEW AND OLD (CHRONIC) CONDITIONS INCLUDING SPINE  JOINT  AND PELVIC PROCEDURES  AND OTHER  RECOMMENDATIONS AIMED AT IMPROVING PAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONDITIONS. WE WILL NO LONGER PROVIDE CHRONIC OPIOID THERAPY.  THIS HAS BEEN A DIFFICULT DECISION, HOWEVER , DUE TO THE NEW  AND RECURRING COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH HAVING A "PAIN CLINIC" LICENSE, IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ACTUAL OPIOID MEDICATION MANAGEMENT IN THE UNDER-SERVED AREAS IN MANY COMMUNITIES, THE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP WOULD BE ENORMOUS AND  SIMPLY  ONE  WHICH WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO UNDERTAKE. WE REGRET  THAT  THIS HAS TO BE THE DECISION. CURRENT PATIENTS AND REFERRING PROVIDERS  WILL BE DETAILED IN ON ALL ASPECTS  OF OUR TRANSITION. ALSO, NOTICES OF AVAILABLE  NEW SERVICES WILL BE MADE KNOWN VIA  MULTI-MEDIA DIRECT CONTACT.
