Address the Rising Cost of Migraine Among Your Members

Migraine is one of the most common and debilitating conditions affecting health plan members today. Despite its prevalence, the true impact of migraine often goes unnoticed, especially regarding its financial toll on health plans.

How Migraine Impacts Health Plan Costs

Emergency Room Visits

• Migraine is the 6th leading cause of ER visits, according to the CDC.
• Many of these visits are avoidable with proper education and management.

Cardiovascular Disease

• Members with migraine have double the risk of stroke and an increased risk of heart attacks due to vascular inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.
• These risks drive up monitoring, treatment, and hospitalization costs.

Behavioral Health Conditions

• Members with migraine are 2.5 to 6 times more likely to experience anxiety or depression, and they face a three-fold increase in bipolar disorder prevalence.
• Comorbid mental health issues lead to 2.5 times higher medical costs.

Hypertension

• Members with migraine are 25% more likely to live with hypertension, further increasing health risks and costs if unmanaged.
