Is Botox for Migraines Covered by Major Medical Insurance?

October 22, 2010
Asked By:redbone5153 in Mcdonough, GA

I have had migraines for over 30 years. Sometimes every night in spring and fall. Will blue cross blue shield cover the cost? What medical documents do I need to take to a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
