Neetsie - Many insurance programs, both private and government, do not recognize and pay for pain management programs. This creates challenges for hundreds of thousands of people throughout the U.S.
In terms of your options, many states provide some type of customer service support for residents who are in a Medicaid program. Most health plans that contract with states to provide Medicaid services also have a customer service support function as well as physician directories. The customer services representatives and physician directories can be used to obtain more information about the services you are eligible for, and the physicians you are able to see.
In terms of seeing a physician who does not accept Medicaid patients you will need to work directly with that physician's office to find out what type of fees they charge to patients that are not on the insurance programs they accept.
Good luck to you in investigating your options and obtaining treatment.
