I have CRPS and had my case accepted by a physician at JH Blaustein Pain Clinic. He prescribed a new medication and discussed a possible procedure, too. Additionally, he suggested that I meet with an Abbott rep to have my DRG reprogrammed.
I think it was time for a reprogramming because I’ve had some relief, but it could also partly be the new Rx, but it’s such a low dose, I’m not sure. I was frustrated that the doctor didn’t explain things to be about how the medication or capsaicin worked and the majority of the cost was with the resident. ALSO, because his office is in the medical center/hospital, my insurance requires me to pay $125 facility fee! Unbelievable! You must also pay for parking. I’m not returning, at this point I’ll just rely on my DRG and see another specialist where I’m. Or paying $125 facility fee in addition to my specialist copay.
