Infusion therapy can be used to treat a variety of acute or complex conditions. This type of treatment is effective in treating chronic conditions in patients that struggle to take medication orally. Discuss your desired treatment plan with your healthcare provider and see if you’re a candidate for infusion therapy.

There are infusion therapy and emerging therapy treatment plans that can be administered to patients of all ages to treat and manage a variety of conditions. Infusion therapy can treat infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, nutritional or gastrointestinal disorders, cancer and hematological disorders, immune deficiencies, hemophilia and can even help patients manage symptoms from advanced illnesses. Infusion therapy is also used to provide pre and post-transplantation support.

Depending on the services needed, home and alternate site infusion care is covered by most major insurance companies. Before receiving infusion therapy treatment, your insurance coverage will need to be verified. Ask the facility that is managing your infusion therapy treatment about any available reimbursement programs or financial assistance.

Infusion therapy used to take place exclusively in hospitals but is now available to patients at infusion therapy centers, ambulatory suites or at home. Experienced nurse practitioners trained in infusion therapy will administer the medication. Insurance companies generally require clinicians to be accredited prior to administering treatment.

The duration of infusion therapy could take several hours between preparation and administration. Timing for treatment can also depend on your condition and where you are receiving infusion therapy.

Home and alternate site infusion therapy is a proven, safe and effective alternative to hospital inpatient care.[*]Bhole, M. V., Burton, J., & Chapel, H. M. (2008). Self-infusion programmes for immunoglobulin replacement at home: Feasibility, safety and efficacy. Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America,28(4), 821-832.

The safety profile of home infusion of intravenous immunoglobulin in patients with neuroimmunologic disorders.Journal of Clinical Neuromuscular Disease, 12(suppl 4), S1-10. For most people, receiving treatment at home or in an alternate treatment setting, like an infusion suite, is preferable to hospital inpatient care. It can provide comfort and convenience for patients and offers less interruption to their daily activities. It can also be a cost-effective alternative to expensive hospital stays.[*]Home infusion therapy: Differences between Medicare and private insurers’ coverage. (2010, June).

要在家中或在备选站点接受输液治疗由您和您的医师或医疗保健服务提供者所决定。患者在家中接受输液治疗之前，需要考虑几个因素，包括患者本人和/或照料者是否希望和愿意配合治疗规定，以及是否有一个安全适宜的家庭环境。

一旦患者出院并准备在医院外接受治疗，我们将在患者方便的时候安排输液预约。然后，一家本地的 Option Care Health 认证分支药房会配制出符合所有行业安全和无菌标准的输液药品。一名经过输液疗法专门培训、具有丰富经验的护士会将药品送到患者的家中并为其施用输液。
