Infusion Suite FAQs
One effective treatment for rheumatoid diseases and other autoimmune disorders is
infusion therapy. Infusion therapy provides patients with medication administered by IV.
It is a safe and effective alternative when a patients condition is severe and oral
medication is not an option or has not worked. Infusion therapy can take place at the
doctors office, hospital or outpatient facility, and is managed by a doctor and specially
trained nurses.
Medicare and most insurance companies cover infusion therapy.
Our treatment coordinator will go over your cost share with you in order for you
to fully understand your responsibility for the treatments given.
How long will it take for me to start therapy?
Infusion Therapies often require authorization from your insurance company. This may take additional time as the Insurance Company's prior authorization department reviews clinical information submitted by the treatment coordinator. Once authorization for your medication is approved you will be contacted for scheduling.
How long does an infusion treatment typically take?
Most infusion sessions last between 30 minutes to 4 hours depending on the medication and treatment plan prescribed by your rheumatologist.
What should I expect during my infusion appointment?
What if I cannot afford my medication?
Many patient assistance programs are in place to help patients who cannot afford Infusion Therapies. The treatment coordinator will discuss these programs with you, and will be able to provide more information regarding financial assistance.
