Mercury,

-:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-•*Welcome to MyMigraineConnection!*•-:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-

Your insurance company didn't decide you don't need the medication. They decided they're not going to pay for that much. It comes down to $$. Unfortunately, this is a very common problem.

Call and talk with someone at the insurance company. Sometimes, they'll pay for more if your doctor sends them a letter or if it's pre-authorized. You might also ask if they'd cover more doses if you used the tablets. I don't know if they work for you, but insurance companies typically cover more tablets than injections. You could also see if they have a formulary with apreferred triptan. That might also make a difference in how many doses per month are covered.

Is your insurance through your employer? If so, you can also talk with someone in human resources about this problem. They may be able to help you with it.

How many Migraines do you have in a month? If you're having three or more a month, are you and your doctor working to find an effective preventive regimen? That should always be a consideration.

Please let me know how this turns out? Good luck.

Welcome again,
