TEMMA® Pricing & Insurance

Clear, simple, and transparent information about costs and coverage.

We believe every patient deserves to understand the financial side of their care.

Below is a general overview of the costs associated with TEMMA and the services involved.

Many insurance plans offer coverage for key portions of the TEMMA process. We'll review your benefits, confirm what is included under your plan, and provide a clear estimate before any appointment or procedure.

What's Included in TEMMA-Related Care?

TEMMA treatment typically includes three main components:

  1. 1
    Initial Consultation
    Review of your history, imaging, and candidacy
  2. 2
    Lidocaine Test Procedure
    A diagnostic angiogram with intra-arterial anesthetic test
  3. 3
    TEMMA Embolization Procedure
    The actual treatment — coil placement into the MMA

Each part is billed separately, and your insurance may cover some or all portions depending on your plan.

Consultation Cost

Your first visit includes:

  • Review of your migraine history
  • Examination of prior imaging
  • Evaluation for TEMMA candidacy
  • Overview of expected results, risks, and benefits

Insurance: We verify your plan's specialist-visit benefits before your appointment and give you a clear picture up front.

Lidocaine Test Pricing

The lidocaine test is the diagnostic procedure that helps determine whether TEMMA is likely to help you. It includes:

  • A brief cerebral angiogram
  • Placement of a microcatheter into the MMA
  • Injection of a small amount of lidocaine anesthetic
  • Real-time assessment of symptom relief

This is a standard diagnostic angiogram with an intra-arterial anesthetic test. Coverage depends on your plan — we confirm your benefits and provide a clear estimate before scheduling.
