Pain Management Program Overview

Chronic or persistent pain is a medical condition that affects more than 100 million people annually.  Chronic pain is debilitating, and its impact may include depression, decreased productivity, and poor quality of life.

The rapid growth of the pain management field has been fueled by the recognition that treatments are available.  Because chronic pain involves all aspects of a person's life, the most effective treatment is a multidisciplinary approach to pain management that may include rehabilitative services as well as interventional pain therapy to improve patients' lives.

The Pain Management Program is the first-in-marketplace program designed to manage pain related health services.  Developed by nationally recognized pain specialists, CareCore Pain Management focuses on maximizing quality care delivered to patients with acute and chronic pain using criteria developed from best practices and the most current available evidence.  The Pain Management Program ensures appropriate utilization and quality care by using quality management components that require accreditation and credentialing of services and utilization review.
