Honest answers about migraine care, what Wellday does, and how to get started.
About Wellday
Wellday is a telehealth platform built specifically for migraine care. We connect patients with clinicians trained in migraine, confirm the right treatment for you, and handle the operational work — prescriptions, insurance, prior authorizations — so you can focus on getting better.
Adults with migraine who want effective, modern treatment without the wait or hassle of traditional specialty care. Whether you have occasional migraines or chronic ones, we'll match you with the right care path.
Most telehealth platforms prescribe and ship. We do that and more — we navigate insurance, file prior authorizations, coordinate savings cards, and stay with you through ongoing care. Migraine is what we do, not one of many things we do.
Wellday is a telehealth platform that connects you with licensed clinicians through our clinical partners. The care you receive comes from real, credentialed providers practicing in your state.
Treatment & Consultation
Clinicians on the Wellday platform can consider a full range of evidence-based migraine treatments, including CGRP biologics, oral CGRP medications, triptans, gepants, traditional preventives, Botox referrals, neuromodulation devices, and lifestyle guidance. The right treatment for you depends on your migraine pattern, history, and clinical evaluation. See all treatments.
CGRP biologics are the first class of medications designed specifically for migraine prevention. They block calcitonin gene-related peptide, a protein involved in migraine attacks. Many patients see significant reductions in migraine days. Learn more.
Yes — and most chronic migraine patients should. Preventive medications reduce how often migraines happen; acute medications stop attacks when they do. Your clinician will build a plan that uses both if appropriate.
Migraine treatment is often a process of finding what works best for you. If a medication isn't helping, your clinician will adjust your treatment and try other options. We don't leave you with a treatment that isn't working.
Our primary focus is migraine. Some treatments available through Wellday are also FDA-approved for related conditions like cluster headache. Build your free profile and we'll tell you honestly if Wellday is the right fit for your specific condition.
Cost, Billing & Insurance
A $119 clinical consultation, charged at checkout, covering a clinician's review of your intake and their treatment recommendation. Medication is never charged at checkout — only after a clinician writes a prescription, and then it bills per fill until you cancel (triptans are $69 per fill, with an optional anti-nausea add-on for $30). There's no monthly membership.
It covers your clinician's time to review your intake and confirm the right treatment for you. You get that clinical review whether or not you continue with ongoing care.
Wellday Care is direct-pay — we don't bill insurance for our service. But we work with your insurance for medications, prior authorization, and savings card coordination. Most commercially insured patients pay $0–$15/month for their prescription once coverage is secured — and we handle securing it.
Most commercially insured patients pay $0–$15/month once we coordinate prior authorization and manufacturer savings cards. Without our help navigating insurance, the same medication can cost hundreds of dollars per month. If you're on Medicare, Medicaid, or uninsured, we'll map the best available path, including patient assistance programs.
Many commercial insurance plans cover CGRP preventives, but most require prior authorization. That's the part we own: we file the PA, document your history, and appeal denials on your behalf. Once coverage is secured, commercially insured patients typically pay $0–$15/month via manufacturer savings programs. If you're on Medicare, Medicaid, or uninsured, we'll map the best available path, including patient assistance programs.
Prior authorization is the approval process insurers require before covering certain medications, including CGRP biologics. It's confusing, time-consuming, and one of the main reasons patients give up on getting effective treatment. Wellday handles the entire process for you — filing, tracking, and appealing until you have an answer.
Yes. There are no contracts and no cancellation fees. Cancel anytime through your patient portal or by emailing support@welldayhealth.com — it stops future medication charges. Any prescription already written stays valid with your pharmacy, and we'll help you transition to another provider if you need.
Getting Started
Start with a free pre-screen — about two minutes, no charge, no commitment. If you're a fit, a short intake follows, and we'll confirm whether Wellday is right for you before any payment.
A clinician typically reviews your intake within 24–48 hours of checkout. No 6-month specialist waitlists.
There's no video call to join. A licensed clinician trained in migraine reviews your intake and confirms the right treatment for you, typically within 24–48 hours.
If what you tell us suggests Wellday isn't a good fit, we'll tell you honestly before you pay anything. The pre-screen is free, and only there to confirm fit.
It varies. Acute medications can work in under an hour. Preventive medications typically take 4–12 weeks to reach full effect. Your clinician will set realistic expectations during your consultation.
