In-Home Infusion
In order to offer additional options for in-home infusion for patients with long-term IV antibiotic needs, JCMG partners with Healix. Feedback from patients is overwhelmingly positive. Home infusion offers many options in choices of antibiotics that can be customized for patients as well as improved compliance as patients are treated in the comfort of their own home. A central venous line (CVL) is required for patients to utilize this service. Infusion staff will handle the insurance verification prior to treatment.
