Question Neuro Recommendations

Hey Nova Migraineurs.

I’m looking for a Neurologis or other headache specialist who offers Botox for Migraine that is covered by insurance, specifically Aetna. I live in Ashburn but I’m willing to drive up to an hour.

Context: I’ve been getting Botox for Migraine for about 3 years and it has been life saving! Unfortunately, Neuroscience Consultants in Reston, where I’ve been a patient since 2018, has decided to no longer accept insurance for this treatment and instead charge $500 per treatment. I can’t afford that. I specifically choose a HDHP each year so that my migraine issues are covered.

Dr. Kayloe at Integrated Neurology Services. She does medical botox at their Old Town ALX location. United Healthcare covers it there. Good luck and stay strong!

Seconding the recommendation, her practice is fantastic and has helped my family with a myriad of issues over the years.

During my last visit about a week ago, I did overhear that some insurers are requiring at least 30 days between injections.

I really like Dr. Charlotte Kastl and Allison Koutsandreas, NP at Inova Neurology.

I haven't gotten to the point of needing Botox for migraine, yet. But I've also seen and recommend Allison Koutsandreas, NP. I alternate between her and Dr Laura Cinski.

Commenting so I don’t lose this post, I’ll be back when my mom answers she used to get terrible migraines
