IVIG and SCIG Home Infusion

Infusion therapy is a way to give medication through a needle, or a small tube called a catheter. It is often used when medication cannot be taken by mouth or when other treatments are not effective.

Most infusion medications are given directly into a vein (IV) or under the skin.

Our team works closely with your doctor and skilled nurses to make sure your treatment is safe, comfortable, and convenient.

Infusion therapy is used to treat many medical conditions, including immune system disorders, nerve and muscle diseases, and certain long-term illnesses.

Some conditions treated with infusion medications include:

• Immune deficiencies
• Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)
• Myasthenia Gravis (MG)
• Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
• Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
• Certain skin and autoimmune conditions

Of the several hundred infusion drug therapies we provide in the comfort of your home or at an infusion suite, MedRx Infusion specializes in providing both types of immunoglobulin (antibody) therapy:

• IVIG (Intravenous Immunoglobulin): Medication given directly into a vein.
• SCIG (Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin): Medication given under the skin.

We support patients receiving both FDA-approved treatments and certain off-label treatments prescribed by their doctors (i.e. infertility).

Your doctor will decide which treatment is best for you. To get started, your doctor's office can send us a referral or call (844) 671-2600.

Specialty infusion therapy uses medications that require extra care, special handling, or close monitoring.

These medications may need special storage, careful preparation, or trained nurses to give them safely.

At MedRx Infusion, we handle the details of your treatment so you can focus on your health. Our services include:

• Checking your insurance benefits
• Obtaining insurance approvals (prior authorizations)
• Coordinating with your doctor and nursing team
• Preparing and delivering your medication and supplies
• Monitoring your treatment and helping manage side effects

Our goal is to make specialty infusion therapy as simple and stress-free as possible.

Home infusion therapy allows you to receive treatment in the comfort and privacy of your own home instead of traveling to a hospital or infusion center.

Some benefits of home infusion include:

• Convenience: Spend less time traveling and waiting for appointments.
• Comfort: Receive treatment in a familiar setting.
• Flexibility: Schedule treatments around your daily routine.
• Personalized care: Receive one-on-one attention from a trained infusion nurse.
• Less exposure: Reduce unnecessary visits to hospitals and other healthcare facilities.

Before starting home infusion, your care team will make sure it is a safe and appropriate option for you.

If you prefer treatment at your doctor's office or an infusion suite, MedRx can also help coordinate your medication delivery.

A home infusion pharmacy provides medications, supplies, and support for patients receiving infusion therapy outside of a hospital.

At MedRx Infusion Clinical Pharmacy, we do more than deliver medication. We work closely with your doctor, nurses, and insurance company to help make your treatment experience as smooth as possible.

Our services include medication management, insurance coordination, nursing support, and home delivery of medications and supplies.

MedRx is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) and Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC), showing our commitment to quality care and patient safety.

Getting started is easy! Your doctor's office can send us a referral by:

• Phone: (844) 671-2600
• Fax: (844) 671-2601

Once we receive your referral, our Intake Team will begin reviewing your information and work with your doctor's office to coordinate your care.

At MedRx Infusion, our pharmacists do more than fill prescriptions. They play an active role in your care from the start of treatment and throughout your therapy.

Our clinical pharmacists work closely with your doctor to create a treatment plan that meets your needs. They review your medications, monitor your progress, help manage side effects, and make recommendations when needed.

Our pharmacy team includes pharmacists who have earned advanced certifications, such as:

• Certified Specialty Pharmacist (CSP): A pharmacist with advanced knowledge of specialty medications and patient care.
• Ig Certified Pharmacist (IgCP): A pharmacist with specialized knowledge of immunoglobulin therapy.

We also have a pharmacist available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because questions and concerns don't always happen during business hours.

At MedRx, your care doesn't stop when your medication is delivered.

MedRx Infusion works with skilled registered nurses (RNs) who are trained to administer infusion medications safely.

Depending on your treatment, your infusion nurse may:

• Start and manage your IV infusion
• Check your vital signs and monitor for side effects
• Care for your IV catheter or access device
• Collect blood samples for lab testing
• Teach you or your caregiver about your treatment
• Communicate with your doctor and MedRx pharmacist about your progress

The nurses we send and our pharmacists work together to make sure you receive safe, high-quality care.

If you have questions or concerns between treatments, a MedRx pharmacist is available 24/7 to assist you.

Medicare may cover home infusion therapy, depending on your medication, insurance plan, and medical needs.

Coverage may be available through:

• Medicare Part B: Covers certain medications and home infusion services when specific requirements are met.
• Medicare Part D: May cover many prescription infusion medications, but often does not cover the nursing services or supplies needed to give them.

At MedRx Infusion, our Intake Team will review your insurance benefits, check your coverage, and help obtain any required approvals before treatment begins.

For eligible patients whose medications are covered under Medicare Part D, MedRx may provide the needed infusion supplies and nursing services at no additional cost.

We can also help you explore financial assistance programs that may lower your out-of-pocket costs.

Our goal is to make your treatment as affordable and worry-free as possible.
