home infusion supplies

Recommended Posts

Hi - so I finally got the OK to get a port for home infusions ( last resort option ). Now I am a little overwhelmed trying to find a home infusion supply provider. Has anyone here dealt with Wallgreens infusion service? Can anyone give me advice on how to go about setting this up? I have a home care agency that will take care of the nursing part but I still need to find a provider for the solution, tubing etc. The provider the home care agency uses is not covered by my insurance so I have to find someone but am unsure how to go about the whole process. Any suggestions or explanations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!

I hate to tell you I had a horrendous experience with Walgreens. I use a local provider of BioScrip which might be available to you in your area. They have their own nursing but I don't use them.

 

Usually, if you call a local infusion company, and they can't take your insurance, they'll find you someone who can. Or, you can ask your insurance company for help. I actually work in this industry but not for the company I use for my own infusions :) I think you're better off with a nearby branch of a national company, or a totally local one.  Good luck! It wasn't fun setting mine up, but we are good now,
