GET CARE
EPILEPSY FOUNDATION TEXAS
Find a Neurologist
Choosing a neurologist is one of the first steps in managing epilepsy. Most health insurance plans require you to receive care from providers within their network, so it's important to verify that the physician you choose is covered before scheduling an appointment.
Start with your insurance plan. Most health insurance plans require you to see providers within their network to receive the highest level of coverage. Use your insurance company's provider directory to find neurologists who participate in your plan. Once you've identified a provider, you can ask whether they specialize in epilepsy or can refer you to an epileptologist if needed.
