How Apollo Helps Crash Survivors Find Relief

If you’ve been in a motor vehicle crash (MVC), you may be all too familiar with the profound impact it can have on your life. The physical and emotional trauma can include chronic pain, mental health challenges like PTSD, depression, or anxiety, and an overall decrease in your quality of life. Recovering from a motor vehicle crash is often a prolonged process involving continuous medical treatment and rehabilitation, compounded by potential income loss. However, there’s a ray of hope that has been gaining recognition over the past decade: medical cannabis.

This treatment option has shown promise for various conditions, including chronic pain and mental health issues that often follow serious collisions. One reason medical cannabis has become such a popular medicinal option is its ability to treat and help manage multiple conditions and symptoms simultaneously. If you’re looking for alternative ways to manage your symptoms, you might be interested to learn of specialty clinics, such as Apollo Cannabis Clinics. Apollo can assist you in exploring medical cannabis as a treatment option, offering free virtual appointments and personalized dosing plans. Even better, they can help you navigate the process of obtaining full coverage for this medication, potentially easing both your physical discomfort and financial concerns as you continue your path to recovery.

Medical Cannabis as a Treatment Option

Common conditions after being in a crash include chronic pain, PTSD, sleep issues, anxiety, and traumatic brain injuries. Medical cannabis can help manage these overlapping symptoms by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which regulates pain, mood, memory, sleep, and inflammation. THC and CBD reduce pain and inflammation by targeting pain receptors, with studies showing significant relief. For PTSD, cannabinoids may ease fear responses and reduce nightmares, while CBD helps manage anxiety by promoting relaxation.

Medical cannabis is commonly taken as oils or soft gels, offering controlled dosing and up to 8-12 hours of relief without the need to smoke or feel intoxicated. THC, often associated with recreational use, can aid pain and sleep at low doses when used medically.  Compared to opioids and SSRIs, medical cannabis has a lower risk of side effects, addiction, and overdose, making it a safer and appealing option for some patients.

Navigating Insurance Coverage

To apply for MVC coverage for cannabinoid therapy, claimants typically need to meet certain conditions. Patients are generally classified as non-catastrophic or catastrophic to access funds for treatment. Chronic pain is a key factor for approval, and secondary mental health conditions like PTSD, anxiety, or depression, often linked to chronic pain, may also strengthen the case when supported by credible research from Apollo.

While not strictly required, some adjusters may expect claimants to have trialed first- and second-line treatments with limited success before considering cannabinoid therapy.  Navigating the coverage process can be overwhelming due to complex legislative guidelines. At Apollo, we simplify this by handling necessary paperwork, including OCF-18 treatment plans, rebuttal letters, clinical notes, and records. We collaborate with law firms and healthcare teams, providing robust clinical evidence and substantial research to support medical cannabis coverage for our patients.
