More information on the MSAA MRI Access Fund:

Quote
As a result of recent funding approvals, MSAA is thrilled to announce we have reinstated a critical coverage component to our popular MRI Access Fund. Individuals with Medicare and private health insurance who cannot meet their co-insurance balance are now eligible to apply for funding assistance for a cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam through the program.

 The MSAA MRI Access Fund assists individuals who are uninsured or under insured acquire a cranial MRI to help determine a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis or evaluate current MS disease progression. The MRI Access Fund helps qualified applicants in two ways:

~For people with no health insurance or a high unmet insurance deductible, the Fund will pay for an MRI through one of MSAA’s contracted imaging centers

~For individuals who cannot meet their MRI co-insurance balance, the program will cover the remaining cost, up to a specified maximum amount

Applicants must meet certain eligibility guidelines, complete the updated 2017 application and have not received an MSAA-funded MRI within the past 24 months. Also, MSAA does not reimburse for MRIs outside of this program. To learn more and apply, please visit the the MRI Access Fund or call (800) 532-7667, ext. 120.

The MRI Access Fund is made possible with support from Sanofi Genzyme, Teva Neuroscience, and Biogen.
