Sometimes, but it can take time to check with your insurance carrier and secure authorization before scheduling the procedure. The pain clinic staff will work as quickly and efficiently as possible so that you can have your procedures in a timely manner. You can help this process by making sure that your insurance information is updated. What should I do before my procedure? Your stomach must be empty for the procedure, since anxiety and sedation can cause some people to be nauseous. Please don’t eat for 4 hours before your appointment. However, you can take your usual medications with sips of water.
