Is Epilepsy Covered Under Health Insurance? 
Yes , and for any major medical policies issued on or after January 1 , 2014 a person with Epilepsy would have their condition covered immediately with no pre-existing condition exclusions or waiting periods allowed . It is possible that persons who still have older individual health insurance policies in effect could have been issuedwith a policy riderthat excluded coverage for Epilepsy as a condition of issuing the policy . Certainly any such person would have wanted to dump that old policy and enroll in a new one during the recently completed open enrollment period . If yousomehow missed that then you will almost certainly want to make the move during the open enrollment later this year for a January 1 , 2015 effective date .
