Referrals/Payment

Referrals

We welcome physician referrals for patients who have acute or chronic pain. We request that all pertinent records (history and physical, radiologic, psychologic and other consultations) be forwarded to our Center prior to the initial appointment with the patient.

For toll free numbers physicians should call 1-800-373-4111 and patients should call 1-800-492-5538. To reach the Pain Management Center directly, call 410-448-6824.

Payment

We participate with Maryland Blue Shield, Medicare and many HMOs. As a courtesy to patients, the Pain Center is prepared to submit claims to private insurance carriers. Before an appointment may be scheduled, patients are requested to contact their insurance company regarding coverage and to bring to their first visit the appropriate authorization and referral forms.

For more information or to make an appointment, call the University of Maryland Department of Anesthesiology Pain Management Center at 410-448-6824.
