Home Infusion and Specialty Pharmacy in California

• IV antibiotics at home. Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) for serious infections such as osteomyelitis and cellulitis, with care of the PICC line, so IV treatment continues at home rather than in the hospital.
• Parenteral nutrition (TPN). Total parenteral nutrition for patients who cannot absorb enough nutrition through the digestive tract.
• Rheumatology infusions. Infused biologics such as Benlysta (belimumab) for lupus, and Orencia (abatacept) and Actemra (tocilizumab) for rheumatoid arthritis.
• Rare disease medications. Medications for rare conditions, such as Tepezza (teprotumumab-trbw) for thyroid eye disease.
• Immune globulin (IVIG and SCIG). Immune globulin by vein (IVIG), given at home by a licensed nurse, or under the skin (SCIG), which a nurse trains the patient or a caregiver to give.

MedRx provides its other therapies in California as well. See all services.

MedRx delivers medications and supplies to the patient’s home at no charge. Next-day delivery is available in California; delivery times vary by location.

When a therapy requires a nurse, MedRx sends a skilled, trusted and licensed nurse from an accredited nursing agency in California. The nurse administers the infusion, cares for the IV line and draws labs when the prescriber orders them.

MedRx pharmacists are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

MedRx works with many health plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, Medicare, Medicaid, UnitedHealthcare and many others. MedRx also takes Medi-Cal.

Before the first delivery, the intake team verifies coverage and handles prior authorization with the prescriber’s office.

Prescribers and their offices refer patients to MedRx Infusion by phone at (844) 671-2600 or by fax to (844) 671-2601. Referral forms for each specialty are on the referral forms page. Patients and caregivers can call MedRx as well.
