Did you sign a Pain Contract with the new doctor? If you did & you got a prescription from another doctor for opioids. You broke your contract. It is doubtful they will even see you for your follow up appointment. If they do, I do not see them ever prescribing you opiates.

Filing the complaint will.not make any difference to the doctor. Although it will probably make you feel a little better. Another doctor(s) or government agencies recommending a slow taper. Is just that, a,recommendation. It is up to each doctors professional judgement how he treats patients. It is common for doctors to not agree.

The specialist you see is not going to prescribe you opiates. Do you receive SSDI & Medicare because you have been found disabled by SSA ? The reason I ask is you put a Medicare.gov link to file a complaint against a doctor. If you do not have Medicare & the doctor is a Medicare provider. Take Susie's advice about finding your state medical board.

Again, you are giving bad info and not reading what I wrote. The website I linked gives generic info on filing a complaint, it has nothing to do with having Medicare or not.

I did NOT sign any contract with that place yet and likely never will. I am between PM docs right now.

I asked my ex-doc to fix my records because the way he wrote about the urine results it looks like I actually had a bad result even though I did not. A copy of the test was in the records, but it was such poor quality nobody could read it, so anyone reading the records would just go by whatever he stated.

If he fixes the record and sends me a copy I probably won't file a complaint, but he needs to not do this to anyone else ever again, it's dangerous and cruel to cut medicine in such a short period of time. I think the only way to be sure of that is if I file the complaint.
