Access to Care - A Discussion on the NHF's Position Statement on Migraine Treatment

For too long, migraine patients have been treated differently than others with medical issues as it relates to access to prescription medications. The National Headache Foundation advocates that payers adopt care models that are patient-centric, where the clinician, in collaboration with the patient, is the primary decision-maker and selects a treatment that addresses the patient’s treatment goals and needs. Clinicians are often forced to use outdated prescription drugs in a stepwise approach to all patients, without considering the needs of the individual patient. Dr. Lindsay Weitzel and Dr. Merle Diamond tackle this important and controversial topic.
