Price Of Medications

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Lynchburg, VA

What insurance company is used to help with the cost of all medications for migraines? If you are on Medicare, those little coupons disqualify you from any discounts, which I'm not sure I want to understand their reasoning there. That's the government, always there to help. LOL
