Navigating prior authorizations, whether they come from private or public insurers, can be labyrinthine.

Amgen/Novartis’ assistance program covers 12 doses, Eli Lilly’s lasts 12 months and Teva’s runs through December of this year. Kevin Lenaburg, executive director of the Coalition for Headache and Migraine Patients, says these programs have gone a long way toward providing access, but the future is uncertain.
