Chronic pain management (opioid prescribing)

Whether virtual or in person, you never need a referral before booking a visit with General Medicine. For in-person visits, we reach out to specialists near you to schedule your appointment. Tell us who you'd prefer, or let us choose for you — either way, we confirm they're in-network before booking. If that specialist requires a referral, our clinical team reviews your health history and symptoms, and if it all lines up, creates a referral for you before we book. That referral is yours to keep, whether we book for you or you take it somewhere else.

Before checkout, you'll see an estimated cash and insurance price based on your specialist and plan, but you won't pay until your visit — and that amount may shift with your care needs. All you pay today is $45. $15 covers a General Medicine clinician reviewing your info and providing a referral. $30 covers scheduling coordination: confirming the specialist's in-network, booking a time that works for you, and sending your history ahead. These fees aren't covered by insurance, but are FSA/HSA eligible.

We'll confirm your pain diagnosis, what you've already tried, and review your prescription history through your state's prescription monitoring program, since ongoing opioid prescribing requires that documentation.

Ongoing opioid prescribing typically requires periodic in-person visits. Your specialist will let you know the schedule that applies to you.

Your pain management specialist works with you on a taper plan and alternative options at your pace.
