Gulf Coast Pain
Management
Dr. Lynne C. Columbus
Patients
may be seen by appointment only. Our appointment desk is open Monday
through Friday form 8:30AM until 4:30PM. For your convenience,
appointments and follow up visits are also available through our email
service at info@gulfcoastpain.com.
The
initial visit
On
your initial visit, we will begin a medical record file. It is highly
recommended that you bring your current (not more than a year old)
x‑rays, MRI's, CT scans, and myelogram films along with the
interpretive reports. It is important that you bring a list of the
medications you are currently taking, as well as a list of any drug
allergies that you may have. Please bring any old medical records that are
relevant to your painful disorder. If
you are currently receiving pain medications from another physician, such
as narcotics, please bring their office notes with you.
No
narcotics will be prescribed without these notes.
You
will be given a new patient packet to fill out prior to your initial
visit. We ask that you have these forms filled out upon arrival to our
office, to expedite your visit. We would like you to bring your current
insurance cards and driver's license or form of identification. If you
have specific insurance questions, it would be helpful to check your
insurance company before your appointment. Our staff will also be
available to help you with your questions. All necessary referrals must be
obtained prior to your appointment, or you will not be able to be seen,
this is your insurance company’s policy.
Prescriptions and Renewals
All
prescriptions and authorizations for renewals should be requested between
8:30AM and 5:00PM, Monday through Thursday. For your protection,
evening and weekend renewals will not be accepted because the
doctor must have your chart to renew your medication. Check your
medication supply frequently. Call us before medications “run out” so
that there is no chance of lapse. We require 24 hour notice for refills.
We require 48 hour notification for controlled substances. All controlled
substances require picture identification
at the time of pick up, you may be requested to be seen in follow
up prior to renewal of controlled substance prescriptions. If a medication
is lost or stolen, a police report is required prior to refill.
Prescriptions and renewals may also be requested by email at info@gulfcoastpain.com.
Thank
you Thank you for placing your confidence in us to evaluate and treat your problem.
