Frequently asked questions about starting an Infusion Therapy
Infusion Therapies are medications that are administered in the Infusion Department at our Smithtown and Riverhead offices.
Q: How long will it take for me to start therapy?
A: Infusion Therapies often require authorization from your insurance company. This may take additional time as the Insurance Company’s prior authorization department reviews clinical information submitted by the office. Once authorization for your medication is granted the office will contact you for scheduling.
Q: What if I cannot afford my medication?
A: Many patient assistance programs are in place to help patients who cannot afford Infusion Therapies. The Office Staff will discuss these programs with you, and will be able to provide more information regarding financial assistance.
Q:How do I schedule my First appointment ?
A: Once the Insurance approves your therapy the Nurses will contact you for scheduling, and can explain what to expect, and what to bring for your first treatment.
If you have any questions please feel free to call the office so we can assist you.
