Hey janem,
You can google "find a doctor" and go to one of the listed websites and type in the doctor specialty like pain management or anethesiologist and your zip code and get a list of doctors. I'm sure there are many in the Louisville area. You'll have to then call them to find out if they take medicaid/medicare.
I know it is a pain in the you know what finding a doctor, but just gotta do what we gotta do.
I do hope you get some answers to your pain problems soon.

Some of those pain sites I mentioned have sections where you can look up pain practices in your area. You mentioned you had Medicaid-have you talked to your Case Manager or Case Worker? They can point you in the right direction of who to go to that takes Medicare/Medicaid. If you dont know who your case worker is, call the customer care number on the back of the card and tell them you need to get in touch with the Case Manager/Case worker assigned to your case. Every Medicaid eligible person should have someone assigned to them. They may not have contacted you yet but you should have one or they can assign you one. They are a really good resource for finding you a Dr and will save you a lot of legwork trying to find someone who takes your insurance. They are a good resource for finding community resources, healthcare providers of all types and just good resources for educational information! You should take advantage of that resource! Good Luck!

You might try:
Pain Management Kentucky
(502)366-7317
4402 Churchman Ave.
Louisville
They have another office in Bardstown
(502)349-9889
I believe they have a couple other offices also and I'm fairly certain they take Medicare/Medicade. You will need a referral from your primary care doctor. I use the office on Churchman Ave. Feel free to ask questions if I can help you further.

Lisa how are you doing?? I recently moved from Lexington to Lebanon. I seen you post about he clinic in Bardstown. I have had 2 back surgeries & an artificial shoulder socket. I was thinking of going to the clinic in Bardstown. I was just wondering if you could tell me if the Dr there is very liberal with helping you out?? I was getting 120 Roxi 30s. I'm not concerned with urine testing as my current Dr does this every month. I just want to find a Dr closer to home as its difficult to ride long distance in a car. Any helP would be appreciated.

Kyboy, I'm good, thank you. I really can't tell you anything about that particular office since I've never been there. There's a whole string of doctors that work in their various clinics. My specific dr works out of two different offices, but not the Bardstown office. I know a few people that go to different offices and seem to be pretty satisfied with the care they get. As far as I can tell, most of the doctors don't have a problem prescribing a narcotic as long as they think it's necessary. They are pretty strict and they will do random drug tests and pill counts and you are required to sign a medication contract before they'll prescribe a narcotic or controlled substance. If it would be that much closer for you, I would say that it would be worth your while to change to that office. If you don't like them you could always switch back to the Dr you go to now.
