How we do it
What is home infusion therapy?
Vital care Elmhurst is connected with hundreds of
providers in various specialties in each community we serve. We work in collaboration to
ensure an accurate, efficient, and positive patient experience.
What types of patients receive home infusion
therapy?
Referrals are quickly processed and benefits
are verified. Once checked out, an order is processed and appointments are scheduled for
in-home care or at our many convenient infusion sites.
Would home infusion be right for me?
Vital care Elmhurst provides treatment in the comfort
and privacy of a patient's home. This is often a more convenient and cost-effective
option.
What does a home infusion pharmacy do?
As your community home infusion pharmacy,
Vital care Elmhurst's responsibility is to prepare your medications under sterile conditions in
our preparation rooms, also called 'clean rooms', dispense all of the necessary supplies
that you and your nurses will need to give the medication, dispose of your medical waste
and provide professional pharmacy consultation on the use and monitoring of the
medication the doctor has prescribed. Many times our pharmacists, physicians, or
dieticians are involved in monitoring patient's lab results and suggesting changes in
therapy to your healthcare provider.
Will I have to give the medication to myself? Will
someone in my family have to do it?
There is amazing technology today that can make
even some of the most complex therapies easier to administer. Many patients are taught to give
their own medication, and learn to do it easily and safely.
However, in many situations nurses from a community home health agency are involved.
They come to your home as needed to administer the medication for you.
How do I make arrangements to get home infusion therapy?
There are several ways that you can get information
and possibly make arrangements to receive home infusion therapy.
Contact your doctor. Ask him or her if your medication can be given in your own home by a nursing
agency, or home infusion pharmacy.Contact Vital care Elmhurst at 270-506-2463 and ask to speak to one of our
corporate pharmacists or nurses. We can give you additional information needed to make your home care
arrangements.Contact a local home care agency, and ask them if they provide home infusion.
If they do, ask them if they can work with a Vital care Elmhurst Home Infusion Pharmacy to get your home
care started.
How do I select a provider?
When you are discharged from your hospital stay,
your physician may order additional therapies or equipment to be delivered to your home to aid
in your recovery. Homecare industry standards direct discharge staff to present you with an
unbiased list of potential suppliers in your area. You have the right to choose the provider
that you wish to continue your care in the home or alternate site. While we hope that Vital care
Elmhurst will be your choice of provider, we encourage you to exercise this right to remain in
control of your health care.
What does a home infusion pharmacy do?
Does insurance pay for home infusion therapy?
The answer depends on your insurance, your coverage plan, your medical condition,
and the medication that your doctor is prescribing. One of the services offered by
Vital care Elmhurst is to contact your insurance provider and get all the information we need
to decide whether or not your therapy would be reimbursed if administered in the home.
