But what we really need is affordable insurance that covers more of our medical expenses. With migraine, we have a pre-existing condition so if you change jobs or lose insurance you can't always get insurance that covers your condition.

And then list the treatments. I have had several patients I have done this for and they have received treatments that were previously denied, including inpatient stays at Headache Centers out of our area (something we don't offer). As always..great post! Hi James,
