Pain Meds Out Of State?

ANSWER:
Most Dr's are networked in with each other. Ask your Dr if he has knowledge of any Dr's in your new state that will follow his treatment regimens. If so ask him to write a letter of introduction to the new Doc and enclose a copy of your treatment plan & medical records.

Get a copy of your prescribed pain meds from your pharmacy for the last 12 months. That way, your new doctor can see what meds you have been taking for your particular medical problems. I would also get a copy of my medical records from my doctor before the move.

When I changed PC Doctors I had copies of all my meds, MRI's, Doctors records and Hospital records for him to keep and read. And he had me sign a drug contract for him, and stated that he has all Pain Med user's take a piss test. I told him I would take his test ANY time he liked. He said he would take to my pain doctor and old PC. and said that I should have no problems.

Strange? No not really. Just because you had a list that doesn't mean those practitioners practice the same way as the last one did. A better approach is to work with your current Dr to obtain a reference to another practitioner who agrees to continue your treatment plan as established. Otherwise all you end up with is a crap-shoot at best.
