Patient FAQs

What is an infusion?
An infusion is a method of delivering medications and fluids through your vein.
What can I expect when I arrive for my appointment?

Upon arriving, you will be greeted by the InfuseAble Care team and escorted to your private suite/chair where one of our friendly front-office staff will verify your insurance info, collect a co-pay if necessary, and verify that all of your information on file is complete and up-to-date. Once we are ready to begin your treatment, you will be taken back to the infusion suite. The registered nurse will start with an assessment: checking your vitals, reviewing your current medications, and, if this is not your first appointment with us, noting any changes since your previous appointment. If you are a new patient, the registered nurse will provide important information about your infusion. Then, the registered nurse will start your IV, administer any premeds, and start the infusion of your medication. Your vitals will be checked throughout your infusion. After your infusion is complete, you will be be given a saline flush and observed for 30 minutes. After your vitals are taken one more time and there are no complications or reactions, you will be discharged with verbal or written instructions. You will also be scheduled for your next infusion before you leave the infusion suite.

How long will it take to receive my infusion?
It depend on the treatment you are receiving and how well your body tolerates it. Most appointments require 1 to 2 hours. You can call or email us if you have any specific questions.
Who administers my infusion treatment when I visit InfuseAble Care?
At InfuseAble Care, either a physician, nurse practitioner, or registered nurse will administer your infusion treatment.
Can I bring someone to my appointment?
Yes. Our suites are large enough to allow your caregiver or family member to sit with you during your treatment. Your guest is also welcome to sit in our waiting room.

We definitely recommend having someone drive you to and from your first few appointments until you know how your body will tolerate your treatment.

What can I do during my treatment?
During your treatment, you can watch one of our TV’s, read, sleep, utilize our free Wifi on your own device, or whatever makes you comfortable. As always, don’t hesitate to let us know if there is anything we can do to make your appointment more comfortable.
What should I wear to my appointment?
We recommend wearing comfortable clothes. Some special considerations: avoid sleeves that are too tight that may restrict access to start your IV or the flow of your infusion. Also, if you have a mediport, it would be easiest if you wore a button-up shirt or a shirt with a lower neckline so we can easily access your port.
Can I eat during my treatment?
Yes! Please let us know if we can chill or heat your food for you before you enjoy it.
I know my medication can increase my chances of getting sick. Should I skip my infusions during the COVID-19 outbreak?
Infusion medications are meant to be given on a set schedule. For this reason, it is important to communicate your concerns with your physician and determine a plan that balances the risks and benefits of receiving your prescribed medication. Patients and providers can find comfort in knowing that InfuseAble Care utilizes private rooms for infusions. Even in these uncertain times, it is imperative that you not discontinue your infusions without consulting your healthcare team.
