I wish I knew more that would help. My neurologist set up the whole thing for me, the med. center/ hospital has an infusion center and he set up the whole TOUCH training for them and had me in there within a month. This is at a rural 25 bed hospital! We have an oncology infusion center, a dialysis unit, MRI, CT, PT, ED, surgical unit, audiology,cardiology, the works! I would have had to travel a long way instead of the 25 miles I have to travel now.
RW is absolutely correct, Sheena...MSActiveSource is tasked by Biogen to maintain and set YOU up with a list of TOUCH certified infusion centers.

As she said, if the person who answers the phone does not accommodate you with a list of centers in your area, ask for a supervisor. It is to their advantage, financially, to make sure you are set up with an infusion center as soon as possible.

They work for YOU...
