Primary Care physicians may refer their patients using the Geisinger Medlink phone number, the Outpatient Referral Request form, or the EPIC Staff Messaging system. Physicians outside of Geisinger Health System may refer by faxing the request to 570.271.5655, or by mailing a referral request to:

Hours

Monday - Friday, 7:30 am - 5 pm

First Appointment Process

A medical and pain history, as well as a physical and neurologic exam will be completed by a physician, physician assistant or certified registered nurse practitioner. The physician will then discuss treatment options with you, and together, you will agree on a plan of action. If insurance approval is obtained, treatments can begin on the first visit.

Consultation Services

Physicians, who would like to discuss their patients and are looking for alternative therapies should contact MedLink to be connected with one of the Interventional Pain physicians for consultation. Our physicians have successfully collaborated with a number of family and primary care physicians in the medical management of patients on chronic pain medications. They will make recommendations to the referring physician. The Interventional Pain physicians do not write narcotic prescriptions, and the Interventional Pain Center does not serve as a detox center.

Insurance Coverage

With the referral from the primary care provider, insurance companies will cover most visits. However, some insurance companies require pre-approval for certain procedures. Pre-approval may be required by your insurance company, so your first visit may be for consultation only. Contact your insurance company to find out your specific coverage.
