Chronic pain is prevalent throughout Western nations and its under-treatment places a substantial financial and emotional burden on patients, employers, insurers, healthcare systems and society in general. It typically takes months for patients to gain access to reputable pain specialists, leaving primary care physicians with the need for diagnostic clarification and help in guiding their patients who suffer from chronic pain along the best treatment pathway, all while these patients await appointments with pain specialists.
WorldCare Pain Management service is available globally and is a unique hybrid second opinion that utilizes a multi-disciplinary second opinion evaluation of the underlying medical condition by a sub-specialist from a top-ranked U.S. hospital of The WorldCare Consortium™. Then, an additional pain management review is completed by a pain sub-specialist at The WorldCare Consortium™ facility.
Step 1 The eligible member calls or completes an online form to request service.
