Does my insurance pay for home infusion therapy services?
We will ask you for your current health care coverage and work with your
physician to order your home care services within your coverage limits. Nurse
liaisons are available within the hospital to answer any questions regarding
your home care or insurance coverage.
What is my role as a patient?
You or you caregiver will be taught to administer your infusion therapy
medications. We will provide step-by-step instructions and work closely with
you as you learn these new procedures.
It is important that you understand your "plan of treatment" which includes
the medications and nursing interventions ordered specifically for you. You
will need to follow your nurse's instructions carefully and report any
progress toward or away from the goal of your treatment.
When will a nurse come to my home?
Based on your needs and your type of therapy, you and your nurse will decide
on a visit plan. A visit schedule will be set up to regularly assess your
response to therapy and to provide and necessary cares.
How will I receive my medications and supplies?
Our pharmacy and nursing staff will determine your supply needs and we will
deliver the supplies along with the medications necessary for you infusion
therapy. You will be informed if any supplies are not covered by your
insurance and you will have the option to purchase these supplies elsewhere.
