Arkansas is an at-fault (tort) state: the at-fault driver's liability insurance pays injury costs, usually at settlement. Until then, care is paid by your health insurance, your own med-pay coverage. Tell the pain clinic you were in an accident and how you plan to pay.
After an injury: what to do first
Get checked the same day for any head injury, severe pain or numbness; urgent care or an ER comes before a pain clinic.
Report a work injury to your employer in writing; workers' compensation then pays approved care.
A pain specialist is the right next step when pain lasts beyond a few weeks or limits work and sleep.
Keep every visit, prescription and missed workday in one folder.
Choosing a pain doctor in Little Rock
Check the license with your state licensing board. Physicians can also be looked up on DocInfo.org.
Ask whether the doctor is board certified in pain medicine (through anesthesiology, PM&R or neurology).
Ask which procedures are done in the office and which at a surgery center, and who reads your imaging.
Bring a list of medicines, prior imaging (MRI, X-ray) and the dates your pain started or changed.
