Thank you for choosing Integrative Pain Center of Alaska for your pain management care. We are very happy to have you as a patient and are committed to giving you the best quality medical care possible. This sheet is meant to be a helpful source of information for you.
Please read it thoroughly and initial at the bottom

Please fill out the attached forms completely and return them to be scheduled. Please bring with you any MRI and/or CT films that you may have with you to your appointment. These are an integral part of your evaluation and your appointment may be rescheduled if you do not bring the films with you, or if the attached forms are not completed

We will call you with a reminder the day before your appointment. Should you have any questions before this, please call our office at (907) 374-6602.

In order to provide you with the best possible care we encourage you to make arrangements for child care during your appointment. This will allow your healthcare provider to give you their undivided attention.

We will do our best to assist you in any every way in complying with the particular guidelines of your insurance plan. However, it is ultimately your responsibility to make sure that you have the necessary coverage for any services rendered in our facility.

We are obligated to collect your insurance co-pay at the time of the visit. Every time you see any of our providers you will need to make your co-pay. This includes all follow up visits, discussions regarding any medication you are taking, or medical counseling of any kind.

Some insurance plans ask that you go to a particular facility for tests. This may include laboratories, x-ray facilities and hospitals. We make every effort to send you to the appropriate facility; however, it is your responsible to know if you are limited to a particular facility for these tests and to inform our staff of such. You will need to notify us if your plan requires any pre-certification or prior authorization for any service we provide.This includes office visits, procedures, surgery and physical therapy. Again, you are responsible for getting any pre-certification pr prior authorization if needed. We will assist you with any information you need. For patients from out of town; you may be referred for additional treatment that requires you to stay in Fairbanks overnight. It is your responsibility to arrange for your own accommodations and travel, including taxicabs. If you have Medicaid you must obtain your travel vouchers from your referring physician. IPCA will not arrange your travel.

Thank you,
Integrative Pain Center of Alaska
