Pain Management Program Preparation
How
can I prepare for it
Once a patient has completed
the evaluation process we
normally suggest that they
continue their current treatment
plan recommended by their
community physician and make
no changes. We at Pacifica
do not assume treatment responsibility
until you are formally admitted
for treatment at our facility
which is a date we confirm
with you after your in-person
evaluation at our offices.
Completing our questionnaires
on-line or otherwise or having
medical records sent or having
phone calls with our staff
does not begin your treatment
with us. That occurs only
at the point you are admitted
formally into our program.
Be sure to be in contact
with our offices with any
questions you have (800-964-1493).
We take pride in our personal
service and communication
at all points along the way
towards admission to our
programs.
Carefully evaluate your particular
insurance coverage and have
our office assist you
if necessary.
Weather in Napa Valley, California
is temperate so bring enough
clothes for about one week
(we have washer/dryer available)
including comfortable, easy
on and off clothes. You may
be changing for massage,
pool, or exercise throughout
the day. Bring tennis shoes,
swimming suit, sweat clothes
and personal hygiene items.
In winter months bring a
warm jacket and in summer
months bring lighter clothes.
Reading glasses, canes, TENS
units, special shoes, braces,
trusses, etc should also
be brought.
Summary of Preparing for
Admission:
- Continue your normal
treatments until after we
admit you to our program.
- Complete our questionnaires
on-line and/or fax or
mail them to Pacifica.
- Evaluate your insurance
coverage. We can help.
- Bring enough clothes
for about one week, lighter
in summer and heavier
in winter.
- Bring any necessary medical
devices, braces, etc.
with you.
