Episode 385: A New Year Means New Benefits for Many People Affected by MS

RealTalk MS

The new year brings with it several significant benefits for many people affected by MS. We're reviewing how the nearly 400,000 people with MS who rely on Medicare for their health insurance will save thousands of dollars, how people with MS who currently have medical debt will see a big improvement on their credit report, and how people who fly with their mobility device will see major improvements in how the airlines treat them.

We're also talking with Craig Bianco about his experience as a member of the Care Partner Advisory Board creating the MS Care Partner Connection web portal.

And we'll tell you about the Phase 1 clinical trial for the Epstein-Barr Virus vaccine that's getting underway.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
