Pain Clinics: Application and Certification Process
Scam targeting U.S. Bank customers
DHS is aware of an organized impersonation scam that targets U.S. Bank customers. Impersonators are contacting customers by phone, posing as representatives from the U.S. Bank Fraud Department. They may claim issues with recently initiated wire transfers. The DHS DQA Provider Portal uses U.S. Bank for the payment of fees. Please be aware of this impersonation scam if you are paying fees through the DHS DQA Provider Portal.
To become a certified pain management clinic, first review this application process. Pains clinics must be certified by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS).
Pain clinics are privately owned facilities where providers treat pain syndromes. Treatments include interventional pain medicine or medication prescription. Find the complete definition in Wis. Statute § 50.60, Pain Clinics.
Before applying:
- Review state rules and regulations for pain clinics.
