Hi everyone!!!

Here is what I had to do to change infusion sites:

My first call was to a case manager at Biogen, then another case manager, and another .

Finally I asked for a supervisor as RW suggested (thanks again!). My advice would be to speak with a case manager once and if you don't get the help you need, ask for a supervisor.

Once you get that far, you will get a list of infusion sites from Biogen that are near the area where you will be staying/living. I had problems with the first infusion site I chose . They weren't returning calls. So, Biogen called a different site for me. They gave me that address and phone number (wrong number by the way ), along with the Tysabri nurse's name. I asked her if they accepted my insurance and if they would honor my neuro's scrip. They do, thank goodness.

When I got through to the Ty nurse at the new site she took care of everything else. This particular site would honor my scrip for Ty from my current neuro (I imagine this would not be the case if I were actually moving permanently to the area). Some sites will not honor the scrip from a doctor not at their site. You would have to get a scrip from the neuro associated with the new infusion site.

I had to have my neuro's office fax a few of my records to the new site. My insurance did not cause any problems, yet . The Ty will be shipped from my regular specialty pharmacy to the new site.

I have an appointment set up at my new site on April 14th for my third infusion. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly. The new Ty nurse assured me that everything was going to be fine. I'll just have to wait and see .

When I go to Pittsburgh on April 9th, I won't be online hardly at all. My parents do not have a computer, ARGH! I have no idea when I'll be back, I bought a one-way ticket for the time being. I'm going to start another thread about this in the Stumble Inn shortly.

I hope this helps !!
