A visual aid to better understand access to covered treatment and services for people with chronic pain, derived from stakeholder interviews focusing on the experiences of those living with and treating chronic pain. The intent of the aid is to highlight the most prominent barriers experienced by people accessing care and the influencers acting on providers, ultimately affecting the person with chronic pain, their quality of care (QOC), and their quality of life (QOL).
These sentiments were derived from requests for information (RFIs) conducted by CMS and CDC, including as part of CDC’s efforts to understand and integrate the lived experiences of patients and providers into their update to the 2016 opioid prescribing guideline.
