PharmaScript Ambulatory Infusion Center is committed to providing the highest level of care, safe treatment practices, and ongoing support to our patients.
Our certified nursing staff have an average of 10 years of direct patient care experience, and are trained and certified in all aspects of complex and chronic infusion therapy including Chemotherapy, IVIG, and IV Antibiotics. And to ensure their skill levels continue to exceed industry standards, our nurses are required to attend quarterly training seminars on new techniques and drugs available for antimicrobial administration.
After each treatment, patients participate in a discharge meeting with an infusion therapy nurse to address any questions and review the check-list of adverse signs and symptoms that require follow up care.
Is the infusion center covered by my insurance carrier?
Don't risk incurring a large, unexpected medical bill. Check with the infusion facility or your insurance carrier to determine if treatment is covered under your insurance plan and any applicable co-payments. If your desired facility is not on the provider list, request an estimate of the fees associated with your prescribed treatment prior to beginning therapy. PharmaScript AIC is an approved provider for most major carriers. We also offer a very competitive fee schedule and flexible payment terms for the direct-pay patients.
Ambulatory Infusion patients often require extensive coordination of care among the patient's health care providers— and pharmacists are crucial components of the patient care team. Infused medications can be among the most complicated to administer with the most exact management requirements. PharmaScript Ambulatory Infusion Center has an on-site pharmacist at each of our facilities to ensure the delivery of infused medications in the most safe and effective way possible.
