Study Finds People Wait an Average of 50 Days to See a Neurologist for the First Time

People with insurance through an employer or another commercial plan experienced an average wait time of 50 days for their first visit with a neurology provider, according to a study published April 29, 2026, in Neurology(r), the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Wait times were influenced by factors such as demographics, insurance coverage, geographic location and the eventual neurological diagnosis--while the number of neurologists available per person in an area appeared to have little impact on wait times.
