Question: Will insurance companies still pay for opiates after paying for suboxone?
(Posted by: dvjebz on 2010-07-24 08:31:29)
I have been thinking about going on Suboxone for addiction but I also have chronic pain in my leg and there is a high chance of needed surgery in the future and what I'm afraid of is needing to have surgery and not being able to get pain meds paid for by my insurance company when they know I'm already getting Suboxone for opiate addiction. Thank you in advance for any answers I might recieve on this matter! Douglas B... it's not muscle pain, I've had 3 tibia surgeries & bone grafting from a sever break 11 years ago.. it's pain that shoots up tibia everythime I move my ankle, foot, leg.. I've been dealing w/ this for 11 years & know all the ins & outs w/ dealing w/ pain & I've been on every drug from Vicodin to Methadone to Oxycontin 80 mgs 3 times a day to Opana er 40 mgs 4 times a day. Thank you for your timely response! Subpar... I wasn't planning on using the subs for pain control, I want to use it for withdrawal no longer than 2 months, Like I mentioned in my response to DouglasB... Ive been dealing with this for a long time & I've been on all types of opiates, I am on a long acting opiate now, I've done the Methadone clinics for detox & pain control & when that didnt work I ended up going right back to my pain doctor & he put me back on the Opana Er's 4 x's/ day & between dependency & my stomach & liver being poisoned, I figured I'd try something I haven't tried before. Oh and I was also DX'ed with a neurological disorders called RSD but thats only stage 1 and not the cause of the pain.. but what I'm told... it leads to worse things that pain and sooner or later I will be using a cain by the time I'm 35 due to muscle atrophy and severe limited mobility. I'm 31 now. |
