Migraine treatment doesn't have to be a pain in the neck

Migraines are a type of headache that can be significantly more painful than a typical headache, and are often accompanied by nausea, dizziness, increased sensitivity to light or sounds, and in some cases, a visible aura.

Circle Medical's 200+ board-certified providers are trained to treat and prevent migraine symptoms. For acute migraines, your Circle Medical provider can help provide fast relief, including non-controlled substance prescriptions like anti-inflammatories, and anti-nausea medication, all from the comfort of your own home.

For more chronic migraines, your Circle Medical provider can provide strategies for long term migraine care, including daily prescriptions, or refills for migraine prevention. These prescriptions can be sent to your pharmacy of choice same-day.

What are common migraine symptoms?

Migraines are characterized by recurring episodes of moderate to severe headaches. Symptoms of migraines can vary from person to person, but common migraine symptoms include:

Headache pain

Migraine headaches typically involve pulsating or throbbing pain, often on one side of the head. The pain can be moderate to severe and may worsen with physical activity.

Sensitivity to light

Many individuals with migraines experience increased sensitivity to light during an episode. Bright lights or even normal indoor lighting can worsen their symptoms and cause discomfort.

Sensitivity to sound

Similar to light sensitivity, individuals with migraines may become more sensitive to sounds during an attack. Normal sounds or loud noises can become bothersome or painful.

Nausea and vomiting

Migraines may cause gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea and vomiting. These symptoms may accompany or precede the headache phase.

Visual disturbances

Some people with migraines experience visual disturbances known as auras. Auras can include temporary vision loss, blind spots, flashing lights, or zigzag lines in the field of vision. Not all migraines are preceded by an aura, and some individuals may experience auras without developing a headache.

Fatigue and mood changes

Migraines can leave individuals feeling exhausted and fatigued, even after the headache subsides. Mood changes, such as irritability, depression, or euphoria, can also occur before or during a migraine episode.

It's important to note that not all individuals with migraines experience every symptom, and symptoms can vary in frequency and intensity. If you suspect you have migraines or experience severe headaches, it is advisable to consult with a primary care provider for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management strategies.

Frequently Asked

Appointments

What can I expect during my appointment?

During your appointment, your provider will conduct a full evaluation of your symptoms and may perscribe medications as needed, which will be sent to the pharmacy of your choice the same day.

Can my migraines be assessed and treated via a video appointment from home?

Yes. Circle Medical providers are board certified primary care providers who specialize in diagnosing and treating migraine symptoms and other medical conditions from the comfort of your own home.

Do I need to go to urgent care to treat my migraine symptoms?

At Circle Medical, all of your visits can be performed from the comfort of your own home. No driving to an in person clinic, experiencing long wait times, risking exposure from other sick patients, and not knowing the provider that is going to treat you. If you are already a Circle Medical patient, you can be seen by your current Circle Medical provider for migraine treatments.

How soon will I receive my prescriptions?

Your provider will send your prescriptions to your preferred pharmacy the same day as your visit.

Can Circle Medical providers provide treatment for other medical problems besides migraines?

Yes. At Circle Medical, all of our healthcare providers are board-certified primary care providers who can treat a wide array of health conditions.

General

What if I need in-person testing or examinations?

If any in-person care is needed, such as bloodwork, vaccinations, or other testing, our providers are able to send the appropriate request to a nearby lab. Results will be integrated with our HIPAA-compliant mobile app so that patients have access to all of their medical records in one secure place.

What states do you operate in?

To see our list of currently available states, begin booking an appointment.

You must be currently residing in the state of treatment as well as have your primary pharmacy be in that same state in order to be a patient at our practice.

How long are the appointments?

The first intake appointment is 30 minutes. Follow-up appointments are 20 minutes each.

Billing

How do I know how much my specific appointment will cost?

We provide a cost estimate when you are booking your appointment. For those with insurance, your actual cost is determined after we submit the insurance claim for your appointment. Once we submit the claim, insurance companies will pay for a portion of the appointment and pass on any remaining cost to you. Once we know what this cost is, we will update you with an invoice within the app.

When do I get charged for my appointment?

For those with insurance, it typically takes 1-3 weeks for the insurance claim to be processed. Once processed, we’ll send you an invoice within the app with any remaining costs. You can then opt to pay through the app, or we will automatically charge the payment card on file after 48 hours of sending you the invoice.

For those without insurance (or with out of network insurance), we will send you the invoice 1-2 days after your appointment is completed. You can then opt to pay through the app, or we will automatically charge the payment card on file after 48 hours of sending you the invoice.

Insurance

What insurance do you accept?

We accept over 1,500+ insurance plans. We cover most of the major PPO insurance companies (payors) across the United States. The best way to confirm coverage of your insurance plan is to begin booking an appointment on our website or via our mobile app. During the booking process, you’ll be prompted to enter your insurance information for a real-time verification of your insurance plan.

What if I am having issues verifying my insurance plan coverage?

The best way to confirm your insurance plan coverage is to call the Member Services phone number on the back of your insurance card. If needed, you can reference our Tax ID#: 474883537 and our NPI: 1134596091. Once you are able to confirm your coverage and your primary care copay costs, you can use the in-app chat to message our team with the information. We’ll then follow up with confirmation.

What is the total cost of diagnosis and treatment?

Your per-appointment costs are set by your insurance plan. If the costs seem high, you may be on a high deductible health plan (HDHP). This means that you have an annual out-of-pocket amount that you must pay on healthcare in a given year before your insurance plan will cover more of your per-appointment costs. 

If you are on an HDHP and have confirmed your insurance information in our mobile app, your remaining deductible for the year will be displayed on the “Book Appointment” page. Note that this amount may be outdated if you have had recent insurance claims processed.
