Neurology visits are covered under specialist benefits. Tests like MRIs and EEGs usually require prior authorization from your insurance company. Many neurological conditions qualify as chronic conditions, which may mean lower out-of-pocket costs under your plan. Newer migraine medications (CGRP inhibitors) can be expensive. Ask your neurologist about insurance coverage and manufacturer savings programs.
