Rocky Mountain MS Clinic

What Rocky Mountain MS Clinic does

Rocky Mountain MS Clinic is a private, physician-led neurology practice specializing in multiple sclerosis and related neuroimmunological conditions, operating two facilities in Utah (Salt Lake City flagship at 17,000 sqft with 14 exam rooms and a 30-chair infusion center, and Lehi at 5,000 sqft opened Summer 2025 with 8 exam rooms and 12 infusion suites). The clinic serves 2,500+ patients across the Intermountain West region and is staffed by 4 board-certified neurologists and 4 MS-certified nurse practitioners/physician assistants, delivering diagnostic evaluation, disease-modifying therapy management, and specialized biologic infusion services covering 8 FDA-approved therapies (Ocrevus, Tysabri, Rituxan, Briumvi, Ultomiris, Uplizna, Vyepti, Vyvgart).

The clinic generates revenue through standard outpatient neurology billing and infusion therapy services, in-network with all major commercial and government payers in the Intermountain region (Aetna, Anthem, BCBS, Cigna, Medicare, Medicaid, United, etc.), with internal staff handling prior authorization and copay assistance. Additional revenue and reputational upside come from participation in the Nira Medical Clinical Research Network, which provides access to MS clinical trials and connects the practice to a 15,000+ patient national neurology network. The clinic is recognized as a Center for Comprehensive MS Care by the National MS Society and holds TOUCH program certification for Tysabri monitoring.

The business model is specialty healthcare delivery with a hybrid fee-for-service/insurance reimbursement structure, supplemented by clinical research participation. The practice also operates education and community-building channels (NeuroWellness Talks webinars, Brain Health Masterclass, quarterly newsletters, Walk MS participation) that support patient acquisition and retention. Leadership is anchored by founder Dr. John F. Foley (since 2006) and Medical Director Dr. Viktoria Kaplan, with the broader ownership structure appearing to be physician/founder-controlled under the Nira Medical Group umbrella.
