Financial Counseling
The UC Davis Pain Management Clinic makes financial counseling available to patients who are uninsured or underinsured. If you need to find ways to cover your medical expenses, we may be able to provide some assistance. We have resources to help you understand the extent of your insurance coverage, and we offer guidance on managing any out-of-pocket costs of pain management. We do so in order to ensure that financial concerns do not prevent you from accessing the care you need.
Our patient service representative can ask our estimating unit to tally your anticipated share of cost beforehand. Those estimates meet the criteria of the federal No Surprises Act to protect patients like you against unanticipated charges. Some, but not all, pharmaceutical plans have co-pay assistance for high-cost or non-covered drugs. Our estimating team will:
- contact you
- review your insurance coverage
- explain your benefits and eligibility for coverage of diagnostic tests and treatment
- calculate an estimate
- obtain pre-authorizations from insurers for your treatment
- connect you if necessary with funding sources such as Medicare and Medi-Cal
We’ll even help you develop a payment plan for your out-of-pocket and self-payment costs. We want to make sure that you have access to the chronic pain care that you need and deserve.
