FAQs: Virtual Headache Care Near You

Can I use insurance for virtual visits?
Yes, Haven is in-network with most major PPO plans, TriCare,  and Medicare. HMO patients can be seen with an out-of-network agreement. Note: we are in-network with Brown & Toland HMO plans.

Do virtual appointments include prescriptions or referrals?
Yes. If needed, we’ll coordinate MRI referrals, labs, or send prescriptions directly to your pharmacy.

What if I need in-person treatment like Botox?
You’ll begin care virtually, then schedule a brief in-office visit for procedures in L.

Do I need a referral?
No referral is required (for PPO, EPO, POS, and traditional Medicare). You can schedule directly by calling or schedule a time to talk with a care navigator online. Some HMO plans and some TriCare plans will require a simple referral from your primary care provider

What’s the difference between a neurologist and a headache specialist?
All headache specialists are neurologists, but not all neurologists have advanced training in headache medicine. Haven’s team holds fellowship credentials in this field.
