Migraine Minds Expands Treatment Options for Ohio Headache and Migraine Sufferers

Columbus, Ohio (MMD Newswire) February 24, 2016 — L. Douglas Van Fossen, D.O., headache and pain specialist in Columbus, Ohio, announced today the opening of Migraine Minds, LLC, a new treatment center for migraine sufferers in central Ohio.

“Migraine pain is highly individualized,” said Van Fossen, who has 23 years of clinical experience and is Board Certified in interventional pain medicine as well as anesthesiology. “We’ve created Migraine Minds as an environment where each patient’s pain can be analyzed and treated holistically-not just as a symptom. By taking an integrative approach to the evaluation, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of headaches and migraines, we can provide our patients a level of compassion and one-on-one attention that is nearly impossible to deliver under the traditional medical practice model.”

The breadth of care options for migraine sufferers more than doubles at Migraine Minds, where treatment modalities include traditional medications, injections, Botox, and IV infusion therapy, as well as alternative therapies such as acupuncture, herbal therapy, integrative wellness and nutritional evaluation, advanced massage, stress management techniques, and clinical hypnotherapy-all under one roof.

Even the office design and day-to-day procedures are attuned to the unique needs of migraine sufferers, offering a med-spa-like environment with fragrance-free surroundings and natural lighting, and same day or next day scheduling for established patients. Patients have easy access to their electronic health records through a patient portal, and to their practitioners via email and text.
Another key difference: Migraine Minds is a direct-pay practice that accepts cash and credit card payment only, and does not accept Medicare or commercial health insurance. Instead, patients willing to submit out-of-network claims themselves receive after-care receipts for that purpose.

“Annual deductibles have risen so high that many patients never meet them. If a patient is going to be paying out-of-pocket either way for much of their care, they deserve to get the pain relief they need,” Van Fossen explained. “Our direct-pay structure lets us keep our rates competitive so that patients with or without insurance can get responsive, effective, personally tailored care. In turn, that helps them avoid costly trips to the ER and lost time from family and work.”
