ME/CFS patients should be able to receive treatment at Long COVID clinics particularly those that are receiving federal funding. The National Academy of Medicine case definition of Long COVID is sufficiently broad so as to include most ME/CFS patients and a demonstration of prior COVID infection is not required.

ME/CFS patient eligibility for treatment is important to establish in view of the anticipated additional funding for Long COVID treatment clinics when the Senator Bernie Sanders’ Long COVID Moonshot legislation becomes law. Senator Sanders’ healthcare team is willing to assist ME/CFS patients should they experience difficulty receiving care at Long COVID Treatment Clinics.  ME/CFS patients who are denied treatment at a Long COVID Treatment Clinic should send a summary of their experience to  Kenneth.j.friedman@gmail.com for processing and eventual adjudication by Senator Sanders’ healthcare team.
