Oklahoma Interventional Pain Management and Treatment Act; defining terms. Effective date.

SB 737 defines "interventional pain management" as the diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain using techniques like nerve ablation, spinal injections, or surgical procedures such as spinal cord stimulators. It requires physicians to hold specific medical licenses to practice this care, while allowing certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) to perform certain procedures like epidural injections under physician supervision. The bill prohibits CRNAs from operating freestanding pain facilities without direct supervision by a physician board-certified in pain management. It takes effect November 1, 2025, and directly affects pain management practitioners, CRNAs, and facilities in Oklahoma.
