The best way to find out if your insurance will cover Botox for your migraines is to contact them or your HR representative to see if it is a covered benefit. If it is they can also help you find injectors in your area that are in your network.
Thank you for your question. Botox can be covered by insurance but the approval can be difficult. Patients normally would have tried 3 migraine medications with minimal resolution of symptoms. Most patients will see a neurologist for insurance approval. Best wishes.
Thank you for sharing your question. Botox can be used for the treatment of migraine headaches after three medications have failed. The areas injected will not be the same as those spots injected for cosmetic reasons. I hope this helps. Good luck,
Botox can be injected into the forehead, around the ear, back of the head, and neck muscles to help migraines. If you have chronic migraines I suggest being evaluated by a neurologist. Many insurance companies do cover Botox treatment for migraines, but I suggest discussing your concerns with your individual provider. Please consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist for treatment. Best, Dr. Emer
depending on the carrier, different approval processes may be required. In general you must have failed the use of other migraine drugs and seek clearance from a neurologist. Sometimes, the places we inject for cosmetic reasons are not the same as where we would inject for migraines. A board-certified plastic surgeon is a great place to start as well. SHOW LE
