College health centers often provide basic care but may not have specialists trained in headache medicine. It’s important to know how and where to get care that works for you.
Why does this matter? Consistent, informed care is critical for headache and migraine management. Whether continuing care with your home provider via telehealth or finding someone new nearby, a solid care plan reduces the risk of delays or gaps in treatment.
Steps to Take:
- Confirm if your current provider offers telehealth while you’re away.
- Locate in-network specialists near campus using the NHF Provider Search Tool.
- Transfer your medical records or create a “care summary” with your history, treatments, and medication list.
- Find a local pharmacy that accepts your insurance—and is easy to access without a car.
