I solved the credentialing problem at my hospital simply...I bypassed them. Most pain specialists have access to ASCs, that's where I perform these procedure. When I can't, due to insurance reasons, I continue more conservative therapy.<br /><br />I do not see much of a conflict between surgeons and my performance of this procedure, as this patient population is not interested or have already been precluded as surgical candidates. They are culled from within my practice, many who have been referred by surgeons. <br /><br />There are several issues that pain management specialists need to contend with regarding this modality, the first is growing balls and standing up to their surgical colleagues. The idea that we are stealing patients from a more established therapy, or have no business using a hammer is ridiculous. No one complains when I implant pumps or stimulators. Facet fusion is not a new concept. What is new is the burgeoning self-awareness of my specialty which allows us to think and make decisions based on experience within our field.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-34896529948102299262010-05-14T01:01:26.981-07:002010-05-14T01:01:26.981-07:00Thanks for the great and useful post/article on Pa...Thanks for the great and useful post/article on <a href="http://www.hqbk.com" rel="nofollow">Pain Management</a>Health Quest (HQBK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00335206512537000188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-82760760029499820052010-01-22T07:36:51.660-08:002010-01-22T07:36:51.660-08:00The real question is going to be whether payers co...The real question is going to be whether payers continue to reimburse the procedure??<br /><br /> Idet is a perfect example. The industry didn't invest in showing that the treatment is better than the gold standard which is conservative treatment. Furthermore they couldn't prove that the procedure was better than placebo. Patient criteria and pathology wasn't properly utilized other than a study from the Cleveland Clinic which was designed well. <br /><br />What we need is a legit study to show that the percutaneous facet fusion works as well as a standard pedicle screw fusion or just works in general.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-126852961571725269.post-11622867933968254972010-01-18T19:34:49.642-08:002010-01-18T19:34:49.642-08:00I might be able to help out in austin.

I carry a facet fusion device in the midwest and must come to the conclusion that the use of the device in pain management is all dependent on hospital credentialing systems. I have had countless pain management physicians contact me about using the product as a huge asset to their practice. However, it has been nearly two years and I have yet to do a case with any pain management physicians. Hospitals- at least in my area- are simply not allowing/credentialing the device to be utilized by these physicians. Essentially, it depends on hospital control.<br /> <br />Perhaps the more difficult task is regulating the politics that occur between the pain management physician and the spine surgeon. In my experience few surgeons don't care, most have a big issue with it, and frankly some surgeons look at it as an opportunity for more revision cases. However, I believe these devices have their place in the market....with the proper patient selection. It just depends on where the cases are being done and how much push back there is from the spine surgeon community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
