These templates have been developed for the following reasons:

• Accurate Documentation: The template ensures systematic and precise recording of migraine characteristics, aiding in the identification of specific migraine types and triggers, which supports more effective diagnosis and management.
• Streamlined Medication Options: The template includes a curated list of first-line medication options, guiding primary care doctors through appropriate treatments to try before considering a referral to a neurologist. This information is readily available to both inpatient and outpatient service lines, ensuring continuity of care across different settings.
• Facilitates Prior Authorization: Comprehensive documentation within the template helps streamline the prior authorization process for insurance purposes, providing clear evidence of medical necessity and treatment attempts.
