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

SB 737 establishes the Oklahoma Interventional Pain Management and Treatment Act, defining "interventional pain management" as the diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain using specific techniques like nerve ablation, spinal injections, or surgical procedures such as laser diskectomy. The bill requires all practitioners to hold a valid medical license under Oklahoma's existing medical licensure laws, prohibiting unlicensed practice of these services. It also sets clear supervision rules for certified nurse anesthetists, allowing them to administer certain pain treatments under a physician's direct oversight but banning them from operating freestanding pain clinics without a board-certified physician supervising the facility.
