Our findings describe the financial viability of integrating a treatment clinic for persons with FS by directing them to FS-specialized treatment and thereby increasing access for patients with probable epilepsy to the dedicated epilepsy clinic. This study provides a potential solution to the national mismatch in the supply and demand of neurologists and an initial framework to use for those who wish to establish or integrate FS services in their institution.
