Let’s play a game… put a finger down if:
- You’ve ever been ghosted by a doctor’s office
- You’ve spent hours on hold with the insurance company when trying to find a provider
- You received a referral for a doctor … who didn’t take your insurance
- You’ve waited at least a month to get into a doctor's office
- You missed work because the doctor/insurance company was only available to call during business hours
- You were told a doctor you were referred to wasn’t taking new patients
For starters, if you’ve experienced any of these, I truly empathize with you. There’s nothing more frustrating than knowing something is wrong and not being able to get the help you need - not to mention the actual pain or illness you’re going through.
Getting the care you deserve should not be this much of a headache - enter, Cove.
I’ve had migraines my whole life. They’ve always been manageable enough - with around ten per year, I was usually able to take some Excedrin and sleep them off. That was until I had Omicron back in January 2022 which exasperated my migraines like never before. For the months of February and April, I had migraines that would linger for three weeks at a time.
While waiting four months to see a neurologist - virtually, mind you - I would go to work in excruciating pain, vomit at some point during the day from nausea, then go home and sleep.
With a cycle like that, no work was getting done. Here’s why I wish I knew about Cove months ago:
1. 3 Easy Steps & That's IT - consultation, treatment, ongoing care
First, I filled out a consultation where they asked me questions about my medical and migraine history. This triggered a licensed Cove provider to be assigned to oversee my care. Next, my provider created a treatment plan personalized to my migraine history and symptoms.
All I had to do was approve the plan and the medications were shipped right to my door! The last step - complete access to my provider.
She worked with me to track my progress, manage my treatment, and help build healthier habits for more migraine-free days… a true queen.
2. Insurance friendly with in-network options, AKA it's super accessible
Cove is in-network with insurers nationwide, so I was eligible to pay for my initial consultation with my insurance plan. On average, Cove patients pay $30 for their first 3 months of care… that’s $10 per month… which is cheaper than the average cost of lunch.
3. Ample product offerings - acute medications, preventative, anti-nausea, and dietary supplements
Cove’s care is quite comprehensive. Not only do they have acute medications, but they also offer preventive medications, anti-nausea medications, and dietary supplements. While the acute medications are of course important, to me, the real show-stoppers are anti-nausea drugs. As someone who is perpetually queasy, the ability to get these prescribed as part of my migraine care is a big deal.
On top of all of that, Cove also offers Mind for Migraine & Coaching programs - mental health programs specially designed for migraine patients.
Cove has quite literally changed my life. In my opinion, they’re completely revolutionizing migraine relief. Next time you hit a wall with your doctor, remember you’ve got an ally out there, and their name is Cove!
