2 Case Bill is a 47 year old man with a history of low back pain and spinal stenosis Not a real patient He initially began conservative treatment with anti-inflammatories and mild opioid therapy as needed Conservative treatment failed to adequately control his pain Over the course of three months, Bill visited his local ED 4 times due to uncontrolled pain 2
3 Case Not a real patient Bill was eventually referred to a pain specialist for additional work-up and treatment Dr. Jones, the pain specialist, started Bill on a more complex regimen consisting of a longacting opioid, an anticonvulsant, and a muscle relaxant Dr. Jones is not aware of Bill s 15 year history of alcohol abuse, which at the time Bill had been sober for 2 years 3
4 Case Not a real patient As his pain got worse, Bill was unable to work and was fired from his job With the increased stress of being fired, he began misusing his opioid and his underlying alcohol abuse relapsed Two months after being referred to the pain specialist, Bill was admitted to the ER for suspected overdose What are the costs associated with Bill s Care? 4
