We Can Help
|
At Pain Management Plus, we deeply understand how chronic conditions—whether it’s persistent pain, addiction, or a combination of both—can touch every part of your life. These challenges don’t just affect your physical health; they can impact your emotional well-being, relationships, work, and overall sense of purpose. We’re here to walk that journey with you.
That’s why we take the time to develop individualized care plans that are thoughtfully tailored to your specific needs, goals, and medical history.

We believe in a multidisciplinary approach to healing—one that brings together a range of healthcare professionals and specialists, including your existing care providers. Healing is a collaborative process, and we value the active involvement of not just our team, but you and your support network as well. Our primary mission is to help you achieve the highest possible level of function and independence, so that you can reclaim control, reconnect with what matters most, and live with greater comfort and confidence. Whether you're just beginning your journey or continuing care, we’re here to offer hope, support, and expert guidance every step of the way.

Chronic Pain
The serious consequences of chronic pain make finding effective treatment a critical goal. Unfortunately, this process is complex and uniquely personal. What works for one person's chronic low back pain may not offer any relief for your osteoarthritis, for a number of reasons. Your diagnosis, biology and personal history all play a role, and finding pain therapies that bring you adequate relief can be a lengthy effort.
Our services range from interventional treatments like peripheral joint injections and trigger point injections to healthy weight loss management and other beneficial therapy options such as various Vitamin infusions. We work with you to identify treatments that allow you to live an enjoyable, fulfilling life. Although painkillers are likely to play a role, the approach you choose should include more than just medication. We do our best to advise you of the risks and benefits of common pain medications so that you can make safe choices as you seek your solution. |
Addiction
Treatment for opioid addiction is unique for every individual. Our primary goal is to help you stop using opioids and regain control of your life. We also focus on supporting you in avoiding future use by building a foundation for long-term recovery.
When you stop using opioids, your body may experience withdrawal — a natural response that can include symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and anxiety. This stage can be challenging, but you're not alone. Our medical team can prescribe medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. These treatments are tailored to your needs, helping you stay as comfortable and supported as possible throughout the process. We are committed to creating a non-judgmental, compassionate, and supportive environment where every patient is treated with dignity and respect. Recovery is possible — and we’re here to walk beside you every step of the way. |

Insurance Information
At Pain Management Plus, we are in-network with most major insurance plans, and in most cases, referrals are not required to schedule an appointment. However, there are some exceptions based on the specific details of your insurance plan.
For example, plans that offer HMO (gatekeeper) products may require a referral from your designated Primary Care Provider (PCP). In these cases, your PCP must submit the referral directly to your insurance plan before they will authorize visits to a specialist or other providers. Additionally, your plan may have certain restrictions on where you can receive outpatient services such as lab work, radiology, or physical, speech, and occupational therapy.
Please note:
It is the patient’s responsibility to understand your insurance plan’s specific requirements, coverage limitations, and restrictions. We strongly encourage you to contact your insurance company directly before scheduling an appointment, especially if you’re unsure of your plan’s details.
To verify your benefits, network status, and out-of-pocket costs (such as copayments, deductibles, or coinsurance), use the customer service number listed on the back of your insurance card. Be sure to provide them with our Group NPI (National Provider Identifier):
Group NPI: 1215596135
Understanding your coverage ahead of time can help avoid unexpected costs and ensure a smoother experience when you visit us. If you have additional questions after speaking with your insurance provider, feel free to contact our office—we’re here to help.

🛡️ Out-of-Network Insurance PlansSome insurance plans are considered out of network due to limitations set by the insurance carrier—not by our practice. When this is known in advance, patients are expected to pay at the time of service. If payment is not collected during the visit, the balance will be billed and must be paid before or at your next appointment.
We can still file claims to these out-of-network plans, but coverage typically falls under out-of-network benefits, if applicable. If you still have any questions or concerns, you should contact your insurance provider directly to confirm your benefits and coverage by providing them our NPI# 1215596135. You may also consider: 📞 Contacting your insurance plan to verify your out-of-network benefits 📝 Asking your plan for an exemption to receive care from our practice 📬 Nominating our practice to be added to your plan’s network ❌ Aetna CVS Plans – Limited network plan created and restricted by Aetna ❌ Bright Health – No longer offered in North Carolina ❌ Crescent – As of 04/01/2025, No longer offered in North Carolina ❌ Friday Health Plans – No longer offered in North Carolina ❌ HealthTeam Advantage Plans – Closed network; not offering participation to new/additional providers ❌ UnitedHealthcare Medicare – Closed network; not offering participation to new/additional providers ❌ Out-of-State Medicaid Plans – (e.g., Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia) |
