Do you have menstrual migraines?

Drop down F.A.Q. toggle button

Currently, Medicare, Medicaid, and other state- or federally-funded plans cannot be used for any Hello Alpha services or prescriptions written by a Hello Alpha provider. If you have one of these plans, you will have to pay the cash price for medication, if your plan allows.

Is birth control covered by insurance?
Drop down F.A.Q. toggle button

Every insurance plan is different. If you want to use insurance benefits for a prescription, check your insurance plan’s formulary to learn about what medications are included in your plan.

Some medications are only covered for certain conditions or with certain requirements. If a medication is covered by your insurance plan, you may still have a copay. Your insurance company may have lower copay pricing at different pharmacies.

To learn more about your coverage, call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask the following questions:

- Do you cover medications for my condition?
- Which medications do you cover?
- Will I have a copay?
- Is prior authorization required for any of these medications?
- What are the requirements to receive a prior authorization?
- Is there a preferred pharmacy for my insurance plan?

Your insurance may require a prior authorization in order to cover the cost of a medication.

Please note:
Currently, Medicare, Medicaid, and other state- or federally-funded plans cannot be used for any prescription written by an Alpha provider. If you have one of these plans, you will have to pay the cash price for medication, if your plan allows.
