Certain Pain Clinics to Close
Three months after its former CEO was indicted for Medicare fraud, a giant pain management company with clinics in 12 states is shutting locations throughout Tennessee and beyond.
Comprehensive Pain Specialists has made no public statements saying why or when the closures are occurring, but Tennessean reporters have confirmed locations are already closed or closing soon.
Reporters called each of the company’s 60 clinics on Tuesday morning. Sixteen confirmed they were closing this month. At another 11, phone calls were forwarded to voicemail messages that state the clinics were already closed.
None of the 21 Tennessee clinics said they would remain open. Two clinic employees said the company was closing all clinics by the end of the month, but insisted they were not permitted to make statements about the closures.
Comprehensive Pain Management, also known as Anesthesia Services Associates, is headquartered in Middle Tennessee but runs 60 pain management clinics and employs about 250 medical professionals, according to federal court documents.

Larry W. Anderson of Monteagle, TN
April 26, 1949 – July 1, 2018
A hard working man who believed in providing for his family by the sweat of
his brow. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.
His
life had become a greater testimony to those of us who knew him well.
Behold
old things are passed away. Ecclesiastes 7:1 The day of one’s death is
more precious than ones birth. He now rests in the arms of the Lord and
has found that peace that passeth all understanding. He was preceded in
death by his son, Aarron. He is survived by his wife, Deborah Anderson;
daughters, Lilly, Tilly and Sara; sons, Larry Jr. (Melissa), Anthony, Matt
1 (Amy), Eric, Matt 2-2 and Joseph (Elizabeth); sixteen grandchildren; god
son, Dwight Layne (Hollie) and his little fishing buddy, Boo Boo. No
service is planned, but the family will have a graveside memorial at a
later date.
Daves-Culbertson Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
