We are preferred providers on many commercial medical plans. It is, however, each patient’s responsibility to contact their insurance company to make sure our providers are covered under an individual plan. This includes: Thunder Pain and Wellness, Dr. Kenneth Thunder, Dr. Amanda Melone, and Pearla McDonald.

Dr. Thunder and Pearla McDonald are Medicare providers; Dr. Melone is not. The practice does not take Medicaid.

Automobile Accidents, Worker’s Compensation, Personal Injury, and Disability

Thunder Pain and Wellness is committed to helping as many people as possible. Because we’re a small office with limited resources, we’re unable to manage the vast amounts of time and paperwork associated with automobile accidents, worker’s compensation, personal injury, or disability. If you currently have an open claim, we regret to inform you that unless we are considered preferred providers under your worker’s compensation plan, we’ll be unable to take you as a patient at this time. Please check back with us when your situation has changed.
