Interventional pain has proven to be a primary driver for revenue in many interventional pain practices. To maximize revenue, large numbers of procedures are typically done in limited time frames, emphasizing case turnover rather than maximizing the utility of the intervention. Aspects of pain interventions negatively impacted by the 'quick turnover' model are the roles of diagnosis and prognosis. Determining what structure(s) are (or are not) involved in the area targeted during a procedure can guide all providers in the pain management team in their interdisciplinary treatment of the chronic pain patient.This presentation will present a case for emphasizing the role of diagnosis in interventional pain management procedures. Although this would impact the number of procedures done in terms of turnover and repeat injections (as it relates to 'negative' diagnostic blocks which would support not repeating the injection), it would strengthen the case for their use to multidisciplinary teams and third-party payers.
