Default Is a Neuro Opthamalogist Covered Under Health insurance?

I am wondering if I need to see a neuro opthamalogist. As I move my eyes I have pain in the back of my eyes and it makes my headaches much worse.

I do not have insurance for eyewear but I'd think that a neuro-opthamalogist should be covered under health insurance because I've been injured due to fainting.

Have any of you had to go to a neuro-opthamalogist and was it covered by health insurance?

thank you.

A neuro ophthalmologist is an MD. They should be covered unless you are just being seen for an eyeglass prescription. Other eye function and neuro-eye functions should be covered.

But, with health insurance, your mileage may vary.

Absolutely they are covered. I started with one in 1976 when my TN started and go infrequently in the last few years.
As the other poster noted. they are M.D.'s

TN is trigeminal neuralgia

On this forum, many may not know the TN abbreviation.
