| Treatment Plan

| Treatment Plan A documented treatment plan tailored to the individual needs of the patient by which treatment progress or success can be evaluated with stated objectives, such as pain relief and/or improved physical and/or psychosocial function. Said treatment plan must consider pertinent medical history, previous medical records and physical examination, as well as the need for further testing, consultations, referrals or the use of other treatment modalities. The treatment offered shall meet the following criteria: 1. A favorable risk/benefit ratio compared to other treatments for the same condition; 2. Be based upon a reasonable expectation that it will result in a favorable patient outcome, including preventive practices; 3. Be based upon the expectation that a greater benefit will be achieved than that which can be expected with no treatment.
