The only thing you can do is try to find another pain management dr. But be aware that any new dr will read what your current/previous pain management dr has written in your medical records. If you have a PCP who can advise you that might help.
Also, others here have had problems with incorrect urine drug tests. If the drs office won't allow you to be tested again, there is nothing you can do in regards to your current/previous pain management dr.
I wish I could suggest something, but talking to your current PCP is all I can think of. Maybe someone else has some ideas.View Thread

This is the link to Medicare.Gov & it's Physician Compare has information about Medicare-enrolled Physicians and Healthcare Professionals. Put your Location info in and choose the other info that applies. Hope it helps you find a pain dr.

I read the report at wivh.com http://www.wivb.com/dpp/news/local/how-the-i-stop-law-is-affecting-people
Unfortunately, things like this are happening all over. And it is hardest on those that are the poorest and the most severely disabled. Personally, I don't believe anything will change until it effects those that so far have been untouched by this... those that can afford the money and time to go to the dr every month are effected. For those that are still able to work, taking off of work every 30 days will get old quick on alot of employers. Also another side to this may well be that those with not good insurance are left without this type of care at all because of the extra time and cost involved.
