@arniec Ok, so you're like me and would need to travel. I came from NY and attended FL. I am on Medicare and needed to adjust my supplemental insurance plan to have out of network coverage. After doing so, Mayo Pain Rehab Center (PRC) was 100% covered. Travel, lodging and meals were out of pocket costs.

Yes, it is a big decision, and a big commitment. Here is a link explaining the program:

As you will see, PRC is a comprehensive rehabilitation program that incorporates 4 main components:

- Physical
- Behavioral
- Emotional
- Chemical

This approach tackles the whole person because that is what it takes for successful long term chronic pain and symptom management. I will be honest and tell you that it is no cake walk. You must really want to embrace healthy, positive change and be committed to working the program so the program works for you. I graduated October 2020 and will attest that my experience was life changing not only for myself, but for my friends and family also.

What do you think so far?
