| Why be in the hospital when you
don't have to be? Carle Infusion Services makes it possible for you to
receive your infusion medications outside of the hospital room. Home infusion is an
excellent alternative for both adults and children who are medically and psychologically
stable, but require injectable therapies such as nutritional support, antibiotics or pain
management. Carle Infusion Services safely and conveniently provides a variety of
pharmaceutical therapies for patients in their homes.
Home infusion specializes in providing the highest quality pharmaceuticals and related
services in the home. Our pharmacist, specially trained nurses and supportive staff have
extensive experience in home IV infusion therapies with both adult and pediatric patients.
We utilize state-of-the-art equipment in preparation and delivery of IV infusion
therapy.
Our expertise includes:
- Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) therapy
- Intravenous (IV) antibiotics
- Intravenous hydration
- Chemotherapy
- Pain management
- Enteral nutrition
We work in conjunction with home care nursing to provide required services. All
pharmaceuticals are compounded in our pharmacy and personally delivered to each patient.
In addition, our professional staff is on call 24-hours a day.
Admission and Coverage
Medicare, Medicaid, and most HMOs and insurance plans cover home infusion pharmacy
services. There are certain requirements that need to be met before Medicare, Medicaid or
other insurance companies will authorize services. Our staff will work with your insurance
company to coordinate benefits.
Anyone may call us when Home Infusion Services are needed. We will coordinate your care
plan with your physician, who will supervise the services you receive. And you and your
family members will have peace of mind knowing that you can always reach a professional
when home therapy questions arise. A nurse and pharmacist are available 24 hours a day by
calling the Carle Home Services Referral Center at (877) 877-8555. |
