From my experience, don't ask and don't be demanding, tell your neurologist you NEED their assistance. He/she may write a letter to the insurance company educating them about SUDEP. The thought of them being held financially liable for one losing their life due to denying their Brand Name med, may make a difference. With each 3 month supply request, the insurance company said I had to take generics. My neuro jumped in, wrote a letter and the insurance company complied. I wish you success. You'll never know unless you try.

Hi! That thought never crossed my mind to be honest, and I’m not sure I’m covered for lifelong medication either. I’m covered for 365 days of “recovering period” upon every hospitalization episode. I’ll have to check with my agent about that. Thanks. However, as my insurance firm is an international one (Prudential), I don’t think mine is the first case they dealt with.

Cheers,
Louis
