How to Choose a Pain Specialist in Augusta

Start by confirming that the physician is board certified and holds an active Georgia license, then ask how the practice combines injections or other procedures with physical therapy and non-opioid options. Georgia Medicaid and Georgia Pathways members should confirm that the practice is in their care management organization’s network before booking.

• Board certification. Look for certification in pain medicine, anesthesiology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, or a related specialty. You can check it for free at CertificationMatters.org (ABMS).
• State license. Confirm an active license with the Georgia Composite Medical Board, or search nationally at DocInfo.org (FSMB).
• Treatment approach. Ask whether the practice uses image guidance (fluoroscopy or ultrasound) for injections and how it combines procedures with physical therapy and non-opioid options.
• Coverage and cost. Confirm network status with your insurer, and get written pricing for anything that may be self-pay.
