Chronic migraines are often under treated by insurance.

Appeal Your Emgality Denial

If chronic migraine is disabling you, denying Emgality is not acceptable.

Understanding Your Emgality for Migraine Prevention Denial

Emgality is often denied until patients have failed a long list of older preventives. Appeals can show that you meet criteria and that Emgality is needed to reduce disability and emergency visits.

Common Reasons for Denial

  • ! Not enough failed preventive medications documented
  • ! Migraine frequency not clearly recorded
  • ! Insurer prefers a different CGRP antibody
  • ! Quantity limits or duration limits
