MS Clinical Care Connection
A Resource for Healthcare Professionals

Increasing Access to Telehealth
The global recommendation for people living with MS during the COVID-19 pandemic is to use telehealth where possible. The National MS Society is urging Congress to take additional steps to maintain and improve access to telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. If you have challenges with reimbursement for telehealth services, please share your story at healthprof_info@nmss.org.

For comprehensive MS telehealth support resources around rehabilitation, mental health, rural health, pediatric and adult neurology assessments and more, visit our Professional Resource Center COVID-19 page.
