What is MigraineWell?
MigraineWell is an evidence-based program designed to help health plan members better manage migraine through educational modules, coaching, and interactive resources. By improving migraine care, it reduces comorbidities and overall healthcare costs.
How does the MigraineWell program work?
Members enroll in a series of four short, medically-reviewed educational modules through our app. They also receive personalized coaching, either 1-on-1 or in groups, to create individualized migraine action plans (MAPs). Automated reminders and support resources help keep participants engaged from start to finish. Additionally, pre- and post-program evaluations measure outcomes and savings.
What kind of cost savings can we expect by implementing MigraineWell?
Health plans can expect significant savings by reducing the need for costly emergency room visits, mitigating comorbid conditions like cardiovascular disease and behavioral health issues, and helping members avoid progressive health declines that are common with unmanaged migraine. Cost savings are most notable in the reduction of ER visits, cardiovascular treatments, and behavioral health care.
What types of members benefit most from this program?
MigraineWell is especially effective for members with chronic or episodic migraine, who also tend to have other comorbid conditions such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, anxiety, depression, and cognitive impairment. Early intervention through education and coaching can prevent these conditions from worsening over time.
Is the MigraineWell program customizable for our health plan?
Yes, MigraineWell offers white-label and custom branding options, allowing health plans to integrate the program seamlessly into their existing member services, using your brand’s look and feel.
What resources does MigraineWell provide to participants?
Participants have access to a range of resources, including:
- Educational guides and checklists
- Screening tools for migraine management
- On-demand access to expert recordings
- Coaching and personalized migraine action plans (MAPs)
How is member engagement encouraged throughout the program?
Our app sends automated email and in-app notifications to remind participants to complete their modules and attend coaching sessions. In addition, members are encouraged to reach out for support and guidance from our team of coaches at any time during the program.
What happens after a member completes the program?
After completing the program, members will have a migraine action plan and a clear understanding of how to manage their condition. We also conduct follow-up evaluations to measure improvements and identify additional areas for support if necessary.
How is the program evaluated for success?
We measure success through pre- and post-program evaluations that assess:
- Reduction in migraine frequency and severity
- Decreased ER visits and specialist referrals
- Improved overall health and wellness
- Cost savings related to fewer medical services required
These metrics allow us to demonstrate the program’s effectiveness and the health plan’s return on investment.
What support do we need to implement MigraineWell within our health plan?
Implementation is simple and requires minimal technical integration. Our team works closely with yours to provide all necessary resources, training, and ongoing support to ensure the program runs smoothly and reaches your members effectively.
Is there a minimum enrollment requirement for health plans?
No, MigraineWell can scale to fit the size of your health plan, whether you have a few hundred or several thousand members.
Does the program offer reporting to track engagement and outcomes?
Yes, we provide detailed reporting on member engagement, module completion rates, and health outcomes. These reports are customized to your health plan’s needs and offer insights into the effectiveness of the program.
How long does it take for members to see results?
While individual results may vary, many members report improvements in their migraine management within a few weeks of starting the program. The full benefits, including reductions in healthcare usage and associated costs, typically become more apparent after program completion.
Can MigraineWell integrate with other health programs we offer?
Yes, MigraineWell can complement existing chronic disease management programs or wellness initiatives. Our flexible approach allows easy integration with your current health offerings to enhance member outcomes.
