If you’re struggling with chronic migraines, geographic distance should not be a barrier to accessing effective migraine care. At North American Migraine, our virtual approval process is designed to make migraine treatment accessible to patients nationwide—no matter where you live. Through comprehensive virtual intake, personalized evaluation, and travel coordination for in-person procedures, we bring top-tier migraine care directly to you.
Why Virtual Chronic Migraine Treatment Makes a Difference
Chronic migraines can be relentless, and seeking relief often involves navigating multiple specialists, procedures, and travel logistics. Our approach simplifies this journey. By offering thorough evaluations and candidacy assessments virtually, we eliminate the need for unnecessary travel—allowing patients anywhere in the country to get started with expert migraine care remotely.
Whether you’re in New York, California, Florida, or another state, our virtual intake process lets you connect with our migraine specialists from home. You’ll share your medical history, previous migraine treatments, and symptom patterns. This model ensures that you qualify for the same advanced care options as local patients in Dallas or DFW without compromising on quality or convenience.
How the Virtual Intake & Approval Process Works
Our virtual concierge process mirrors the patient-focused structure you’d experience in person:
Comprehensive Medical Intake
Patients complete a virtual screening detailing chronic migraine frequency, severity, past treatments, imaging results, and overall health history. This intake includes review of medication attempts, preventive strategies, and prior intervention outcomes.
Record Collection & Specialist Review
Once your medical documents are received electronically, our headache specialists and care coordinators assess your case in full. We examine whether traditional migraine treatments are appropriate or if you may benefit from our procedure-based care.
Free Virtual Consultation
Next, you’ll have a free virtual consult with a migraine specialist. During this session, our team will confirm your chronic migraine diagnosis, review your history, and explain the Alpha Procedure and what to expect.
Candidacy Confirmation & Insurance Approval
If you meet the criteria, we initiate insurance authorization remotely. Our coordinators help manage the paperwork and verify your coverage for the procedure, whether you’re local to Plano, Dallas, or anywhere in the country.
The Virtual-to-Travel Bridge: Arranging Your In-Person Chronic Migraine Procedure
If the approval phase moves forward, the next stage involves an in-person trial and subsequent permanent implant, ultimately performed at one of our partner hospitals. Here’s how we make it seamless for out-of-area patients:
Trial Phase Scheduling
You’ll be invited to travel to DFW for a brief in-person trial with an external neurostimulator device. This is a minimally invasive process where you wear the external device for a short period to test its effectiveness firsthand. It’s your chance to evaluate symptom improvement before proceeding further.
Travel & Logistics Coordination
Our team assists with travel logistics, including recommended lodging near the clinic, scheduling flexibility, and transportation options if needed. We aim to make the trip as stress-free as possible, with a focus on comfort and convenience.
Permanent Implant & Recovery
If your trial results are favorable, we will schedule the Alpha Procedure. The implantation is minimally invasive and requires only a short recovery (typically one to two days).
Aftercare &Remote Follow-Up
If needed, follow-up visits can be scheduled remotely or locally.
Best of Both Worlds: Virtual Migraine Consult & In-Person Procedure
Combining virtual migraine patient intake with our in-person procedure creates a powerful hybrid model that blends convenience, accessibility, and medical expertise. This approach allows us to deliver effective migraine treatment to patients across the country, regardless of proximity to our physical location in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Here’s how this model benefits you:
- Nationwide accessibility
- Reduced travel for early stages
- Efficient evaluation and faster timeline
- Dedicated coordination
- Proven procedure with higher success rates
Together, these benefits mean more patients get the help they need faster, with fewer barriers and more personalized attention—all while ensuring the in-person component of care is safe, brief, and expertly handled.
