At BJC Home Infusion Services, infusion therapy involves more than just delivering intravenous medications. Convenience, comfort and the expertise of our nursing and clinical pharmacy team are the core of our services.

Easy Access and Comfortable Surrounding
We care for our patients as people, not as numbers. We offer patients comfortable suites in which to receive their infusion therapy. The treatment rooms are private, no need to share with other patients; and each room is outfitted with lounge chairs, TVs, VCRs and CD players to make the patients' time more enjoyable.

Parking is outside our front door, and there is no need for re-registration with each visit.

Experienced Infusion Team
Since BJC Home Infusion Services is a part of BJC HealthCare, we are able to bring outstanding resources to the home infusion field. Patients receive the added security and comfort that comes from knowing they will be seen by a licensed professional during every visit.

Our registered nurses possess:

• Chemotherapy certification
• PICC certification
• An average of eight to ten years of infusion experience

Their expertise reduces the incidents of venipuncture restarts, phlebitis and related IV complications.

In addition, registered pharmacists are on-premises to consult if there is any question on medications or issues. All patients are assessed prior to, during and post infusion and a plan of care is created for each patient.

Therapies Provided

• Antibiotics
• Fluids and electrolytes
• Remicade
• Chemotherapy
• Miscellaneous therapies

Communication
We understand the importance of making patients comfortable and knowledgeable about their plan of care. Patient education and interaction are an important part of the service we provide.

The same level of communication is extended to the patient's physician. The patient's physician manages the treatment plan for infusion therapy, and the therapy team maintains close contact with the physician to permit quick and appropriate adjustments, if necessary.

Insurance Coverage
Home infusion therapy may cost up to 50 percent less than hospitalization, and most therapies administered in the infusion suites are covered by commercial insurance and Medicaid.

Certain therapies are not covered by Medicare. Patients receiving therapy with required administration in an ambulatory infusion center are not covered for reimbursement in the treatment rooms. However, if the Medicare patient has secondary insurance and does not meet the homebound criteria to be treated at home, the infusion suites can be used for lab draws and line care needs.

Two Convenient Locations
Our central St. Louis location in Overland and our Illinois location in Alton provide easy access to infusion services.
