How to Choose a Pain Specialist in Seattle

If your pain is work-related, check whether your employer is covered by the state Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) fund or is self-insured, and choose a provider in L&I’s Medical Provider Network. Verify licenses through the Washington Medical Commission and ask about the clinic’s approach to Washington’s opioid prescribing rules.

• 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 Washington Medical Commission, 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.
