I wonder about the criteria for the label of migraine. Is there a benefit to getting the label 'migraine' or is it just so the doctors can use a CPT code in their billing?

So much of diagnostics today is oriented toward getting paid by insurance companies. Regardless of the diagnosis, the head ache still hurts. Drug therapy is a " try it and if it works, continue the drug therapy. "

Just wondering and glad my frequent headaches respond to Tylenol and rest.
