These results can also be obtained by telephone. If you feel that you are experiencing an emergency medication problem you should call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Phone calls about urgent problems will be answered as soon as possible by the nurse. Routine phone calls will be answered by the Pain Clinic nurse or by the physician as appropriate. We have a trained staff of secretaries, receptionist, and nurses who can accurately answer most phone calls and decide when you should speak with the physician directly.
Fees depend on the type and amount of service provided.
Charges for new patient evaluations are higher than follow-up visits. Charges for follow-up visits depend on the amount of time spent and procedures performed. Coverage for services varies widely depending on your insurance program. Your insurance program benefits office or the Mayo Clinic Scottsdale registration office will be able to help you with questions. Mayo Clinic Scottsdale does not accept Medicare assignment and it is likely that you or your secondary insurance will be required to pay some costs not covered by Medicare.
