Pain Points of Pain Management Services

Listen Later

The National Institutes of Health (NIH)is expected to receive an additional $500 million to spend annually on pain management and opioid use. On Tuesday, the agency published details as to how the infusion of additional money will be used as part of a program titled “Helping to End Addiction Long Term (HEAL)."

Earlier this week, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) approved facet joint injections for auditing, warning that auditors will review medical documentation to determine that services were medically reasonable and necessary.

Reporting on this latest development will be American Medical Association (AMA) author and consultant Deborah Grider. Grider will also preview her upcoming webcast on the coding and documentation of pain management injections to avoid audits and takebacks.
