We accept most major insurance plansWhat Is a Bell's Palsy Consultation?
A Bell's Palsy consultation evaluates sudden weakness or paralysis affecting one side of the face. The condition is typically caused by inflammation of the facial nerve, often related to viral triggers. Providers assess facial muscle function, eye closure ability, taste changes, discomfort behind the ear, and neurological symptoms to help determine severity and appropriate treatment.
Early evaluation helps improve recovery outcomes and ensures symptoms are not related to other neurological emergencies.
What We Review During Your Consultation:
- Facial weakness or paralysis on one side
- Difficulty closing one eye or blinking
- Facial drooping or asymmetry
- Changes in taste or sensitivity to sound
- Headache, ear pain, or jaw discomfort
- Assessment for stroke warning signs
- Treatment needs and recovery expectations

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
UrgentCare2Go
What causes Bell's Palsy?
Bell’s Palsy is typically caused by inflammation of the facial nerve, often linked to viral infections such as herpes simplex, flu viruses, or other inflammatory triggers. Stress, cold exposure, or immune changes may also contribute.
Is Bell's Palsy the same as a stroke?
No. Although both can cause facial drooping, Bell’s Palsy affects only the facial nerve, while stroke involves the brain. Evaluation helps distinguish between the two, which is essential for safety.
How is Bell's Palsy diagnosed?
Diagnosis is usually based on facial muscle weakness patterns, symptom onset, medical history, and neurological evaluation. Additional testing may be recommended if symptoms are atypical.
What treatments are available?
Treatment often includes corticosteroids, antiviral medications, eye lubrication, facial exercises, and symptom monitoring. Early intervention improves recovery outcomes.
Can Bell's Palsy affect the eye?
Yes. Difficulty closing the eye can lead to dryness, irritation, and risk of injury. Clinicians provide guidance on eye protection and lubrication techniques.
How long does recovery take?
Most individuals recover within weeks to months. Mild cases resolve faster, while severe nerve inflammation may take longer. Early evaluation supports better outcomes.
Can this condition be evaluated at home?
Yes. In-home visits allow clinicians to assess facial weakness, eye concerns, and neurological symptoms without requiring travel, which may be challenging during acute episodes.
When should I seek emergency care?
If symptoms include sudden numbness, severe headache, limb weakness, speech difficulty, or rapid worsening, emergency care is recommended to rule out stroke or other emergencies.
Will my insurance cover evaluation for Bell's Palsy?
Most insurance plans cover evaluation for neurological symptoms such as facial weakness. Coverage varies based on individual plan details.
