Hi, what can anesthesia trained pain docs offer patients for in-office procedures that PM&R docs cannot or should not in terms of sedation? I’m speaking in terms of private practice. I know CMS discourages sedation for most ESIs and facets Thanks

I know CMS discourages sedation for most ESIs and facets etc but can anesthesia trained docs offer in office sedation for a premium (ie cash price). Thanks

Please do a search. This has been discussed seriously at least 30 times.

If I felt like spending time doing a lengthy deep dive on sdn, I would have done that.

If the owner of the clinic is a chiro both can perform any treatment that the Atty says is indicated

Someone with your entitled attitude won’t be welcome here, then.
No one is paying long standing forum members to spoon feed lazy millennials.

You think we will say charge cash for substandard care. Bye bye

Delete your account and find some other forum to annoy and bother.

This isn’t really a Vs. PMR-trained question. If you’re charging cash, any doctor can pretty much do anything that’s legal. If you don’t think you will finish your anesthesia training comfortable with supervising nurse-administered sedation that’s another story.
