I am currently waiting for Biogen to notify me of an approved infusion center for my insurance (Tricare prime) They said it could take weeks to months???? Is this normal??

isn't Portsmouth NMC an approved site? I would hazard a guess that it is since it's a hospital and my neuro has some patients on it. It shouldn't take that long to find an infusion center.

Not sure I don't see a neuro there but Tricare gave me a list of infusion centers but didn't tell me if they were on the TOUCH program, said I would have to call myself....there were 6 I called all of them,negatory on all! The Major in charge of the pharmacy here at Langley though has been on the phone with my docs office and Biogen and is seeing what they need to do to be able to do it here at Langley. When I informed Tricare that certainly I was not the only person in all of Hampton Roads on Tysabri that had tricare they were unimpressed...but I am the only one at Langley..thinking of going to the Peninsual meeting this month at Sentara to poll the audience so to speak!

Call the HR NMSS - I bet they can help you find an infusion center. You can also leave a message for Yasmin (MS Nurse) at the neurology clinic at Portsmouth - you shouldn't have to see a neuro there to get services like that there. She's been really good about calling me back by the end of the day or the next. Also, I'll talk to flygirl - I think she had a link for Touch approved infusion centers.

Cool thanks Greta ...duh I didn't even think to call the NMSS! BTW how are the moving plans coming along?

Flygurl does.

Cool that Tri-care covers Tysabri!

Greta, how are da little fishy packets?
