Does anyone out there know?????
Keely,

I think the decision to cover the cost of Tysabri infusions lies with each Province's Health Ministry. Since each Province controls their own health system, they have the final say. I would therefore contact your Provinical Health office and ask the question there. Please let us know what kind of answer you get.

Or course, if you carry private extended health care insurance, you should explore that avenue as well.
