  • CANCELLATION AND NO-SHOW POLICY

  • We understand that situations may arise which makes it necessary to cancel your appointment. Accordingly, we request that you provide at least 24-hour notice of cancellation to avoid any fees. This will enable the physicians to offer that time slot to other patients who need care. Appointments with our specialists are in high demand, and your early cancellation will give another person access to timely medical care.

    Cancellation Fees:

    • Any appointment not cancelled 24 hours prior to the appointment time are subject to a $40.00 cancellation fee.
    • Any procedure appointments (in a surgery center) not cancelled 48 hours prior to the scheduled appointment time are subject to a $100.00 cancellation fee.

    No-Show Fees:

    Patients who do not show up for their appointment and who do not call the office to cancel/reschedule, will be considered a No-Show and are subject to a No-Show fee. Patients who “No-Show” for two or more appointments within a 12-month period may be dismissed from the practice.

    • $50.00 New Patient No-Show fee
    • $40.00 Established Patient No-Show fee
    • $100.00 Surgical Procedure (performed outside of office at surgery center) No-Show fee

  • OPIOID THERAPY STATEMENT

  • Welcome to Arkansas Spine and Pain. This document contains the Opioid and Controlled Medications Agreement/Contract, the Informed Consent for the Treatment of Chronic Pain with Opioid Pain Medications, and the Opioid Therapy Statement. If you plan to ask for an opioid or other controlled substance for the treatment of your pain, then please read all three of these documents carefully and sign or initial where indicated. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask a provider or staff member.

    Arkansas Spine and Pain is a comprehensive pain clinic which includes medication management and the full range interventional procedures. To ensure patient safety and optimize outcomes we require our patients to receive their care from only one pain practice. Hence, if we are providing medication management, we also require patients to undergo interventional procedures with us as well.

    At Arkansas Spine and Pain, it is the goal of our physicians and staff to help give you your life back by reducing your pain and improving your daily functioning. We accomplish these goals with customized, safe, comprehensive, and effective treatment plans that reduce risks and maximize benefits.

    To protect our patients from the significant risks associated with opioid therapies including addiction, we follow recommendations and applicable guidelines from the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Colorado state regulatory agencies and the Colorado Medical Board regarding the safe and responsible prescribing of these medications. We first try non opioid medications and other treatments before progressing to treating pain with opiates. Furthermore, we only prescribe opioid medications if, after thorough screening, risk stratification from the forms you fill out, and after thorough history and physical, we determine that a patient’s pathology warrants their use, they meet specific criteria, and other treatment options, including alternative non-opioid pain medications, have failed to achieve satisfactory results.

    The opioid therapy statement and patient agreement serve to document that both you and your clinician agree on a care plan so that controlled substances are used in a way that is safe and effective in treating your pain.

    Arkansas Spine and Pain takes a conservative approach to opioid therapy. Depending on a patient’s specific situation, these medications may not be prescribed at all, may be prescribed at a lower dose, or changed to a safer, more appropriate alternative opioid. Research results continue to demonstrate conflicting evidence for the longterm use of opioid medications for chronic non-cancer pain. High doses or ever-escalating doses can result in a greater risk of physical dependence, tolerance addiction, and increased pain (opioid induced hyperalgesia). The lowest effective dosage of opioids used in conjunction with non-opioid medications in concert with pain management procedures, physical therapy, mental health therapy and other conservative treatments have been shown to produce the best long-term, effective results.

    We track our treatment outcomes to do our best to ensure that our patients are being helped. We are proud of our results and believe that if you suffer from chronic pain, we can help you. We provide a multidisciplinary approach to pain management that is safe, minimally invasive, and clinically proven to be effective.

    Side Effects of Opioid Medications

    I understand that the medication I will be taking may cause side effects to include, but not limited to sleepiness or drowsiness, constipation, inability to urinate, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, an allergic reaction, immune suppression, hormone deficiencies, sexual problems, lack of coordination, kidney or liver disease, and bone thinning/weakness. Furthermore, the medication may cause my reflexes and reaction time to slow down. Finally, the medication may cause my breathing to become shallow and slower, leading to decreased oxygen supply to my body, which may lead to permanent neurological, mental, cognitive, and physical deficits and possibly death.

    I have read, understand, and acknowledge the Arkansas Spine and Pain Opiate Therapy Statement.

  • OPIOID AND CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES PROVIDER-PATIENT AGREEMENT CONSENT FOR TREATMENT

  • I, * understand and voluntarily agree that:

    Identification of Alternative Treatment Options: I am aware that my physician and his staff have discussed the possible benefits and risks of other treatments that do not include opioid therapy. These treatments include, but are not limited to, non-opioid medications, injections, physical therapy, mental health therapy and surgery, among others.

    I understand my condition and I voluntarily request that my physician/ provider and his/her staff treat my condition. I further authorize my provider to administer or write prescriptions of controlled substances/ opioids/ “pain killers” to me for the purpose of treating my chronic pain. I am in agreement with taking these medications and in no way did my provider require me or talk me into taking these medications.

    I understand all controlled substances can be addictive and can lead to death.

    I understand the side effects of opioids listed in the Opioid Therapy Statement and will ask questions if needed.

    I will participate in all other types of treatment that I am asked to participate in within reason.

    I will be responsible for my medicines and will keep the medicine safe, secure, locked, and out of the reach of children.

    I will not sell my medicine or share it with others. I understand that if I do, my treatment will be stopped, and authorities may be called.

    If my medicine is lost or stolen, I understand it will not be replaced until my next appointment and may not be replaced at all.

    I will not take anyone else’s medicine.

    I will not increase my medicine until I speak with my doctor or Arkansas Spine and Pain clinical staff. 

    I will bring the pill bottles with any remaining pills of this medicine if requested. I will authorize Arkansas Spine and Pain staff to count my pills if necessary.

    I will take my medication as instructed and not change the way I take it without first talking to the doctor or other member of the treatment team.

    If I see another doctor who gives me a controlled substance medicine (for example, a dentist, a doctor from the Emergency Room or another hospital, etc.) I must bring this medicine to Arkansas Spine and Pain in the original bottle, even if there are no pills left.

    I will keep (and be on time for) all my scheduled appointments with the doctor and other members of the treatment team.

    I will not call between appointments, or at night or on the weekends looking for refills and I understand that no early or emergency refills may be made.

    I understand that prescriptions will be filled only during scheduled office visits with the treatment team. I will make sure I have an appointment for refills.

    I will treat the staff at the office respectfully at all times. I understand that if I am disrespectful to staff or disrupt the care of other patients my treatment will be stopped.

    I will tell the doctor all other medicines that I take and let him/her know right away if I have a prescription for a new medicine.

    I will not obtain any non-opioid pain medicines or other prescription medicines for treatment of anxiety or pain, from other providers without permission from my Arkansas Spine and Pain provider. If taken with opiates, I understand these drugs, such as benzodiazepines (Klonopin/clonazepam, Xanax/alprazolam, and Valium/ diazepam) or stimulants (Ritalin, amphetamine), can be addictive, dangerous to my health, or even cause death. 

    I will not use illegal drugs such as kratom, heroin, cocaine, or amphetamines. I understand that if I do, my treatment may be stopped.

    I will come in for drug testing and counting of my pills within 24 hours of being called (random testing). I understand that I must make sure the office has current contact information in order to reach me, and that any missed tests will be considered positive for drugs.

    I will keep up to date with any bills from the office and tell the doctor or member of the treatment team immediately if I lose my insurance or can’t pay for treatment anymore. I understand that I may lose my right to treatment in this office if I break any part of this agreement.

    Provider communication consent: I authorize my provider to talk with my other providers, pharmacists, attorneys, when appropriate for my care. I give them permission to discuss my opioid use as it pertains to my care. I know my provider or Arkansas Spine and Pain staff will review the CO-PDMP and I will sign a release form to let the doctor speak to all other doctors or providers that I see.

    I will use only one pharmacy to get all on my medicines and I will notify the office of Arkansas Spine and Pain in writing if I wish to change pharmacies.

  • Right to Discontinue Treatment or Medication

    I understand that I may discontinue using my medication at any time and I agree to notify physician and/or his staff immediately upon discontinuing the use of my medication. I understand that I may be provided supervision if needed by my physician and/or his staff if I choose to discontinue my medication. In this situation, alternative care by other pain or addiction providers will be suggested and you would then be released of this agreement.

    I know that these opioid and controlled medications will be stopped by the Arkansas Spine and Pain providers if any of the following occurs:

    • I trade, sell, give away, misuse, or abuse these medications.
    • I do not present immediately for a blood, urine or saliva test, or pill count, if requested by Arkansas Spine and Pain. I will authorize Arkansas Spine and Pain staff to count my pills if necessary.
    • My blood, urine, or saliva tests show the presence of controlled or non controlled medications that have not been previously reported to Arkansas Spine and Pain, the presence of illegal drugs or alcohol, or fail to show opioid and other controlled medications that I am being prescribed by Arkansas Spine and Pain.
    • I receive prescriptions for opioid and controlled medications from sources other than Arkansas Spine and Pain, unless arranged and discussed previously with my Arkansas Spine and Pain physician or provider.
    • Any member of the professional staff at Arkansas Spine and Pain feels that it is in my best interest, from a safety or accountability standpoint, that opioid and controlled medication treatment be discontinued.
    • I demonstrate ANY aggressive, belligerent, or unacceptable behavior toward any physician, provider, patient, or staff member at Arkansas Spine and Pain.
