P04.68. Costs associated with integrative medicine interventions on chronic pain

Methods Adult patients seeking their initial treatment for chronic pain at a BraveNet center were asked to participate in a prospective, observational survey. Patient-level data collection included longitudinal measures of pain, quality of life, and integrative medicine treatment utilization. Study sites provided estimates of typical charges and insurance reimbursement amounts (when appropriate) for treatments available at each center. We computed the median charge for each service as a proxy for cost and multiplied these estimates by the quantities of specific services provided to each patient.
