Opening soon
Your infusion visit, start to finish.
Your doctor prescribes the therapy. We handle the insurance, the scheduling and the treatment itself.
How it will work
Your doctor sends us your order
Your specialist prescribes the therapy and sends the order to Maumee Integrated Health. You do not need to do anything to get started.
We check your insurance
We confirm your coverage, request prior authorization and tell you what you can expect to pay. If copay help is available, we help you apply.
We call you to schedule
A member of our team calls to find a time that works for you and answers your questions.
You come in for treatment
Your nurse reviews your health and your medicines, checks your vital signs, starts your IV or gives your injection, and stays close the whole time.
We update your doctor
After each visit we send treatment notes to your prescriber and book your next appointment before you leave.
What to bring
Photo ID and your insurance cards
A list of the medicines you take
Something to read, watch or listen to
A sweater if you tend to feel cold
A friend or family member, if you would like company

Who looks after you
Your treatment is given by a nurse certified in infusion therapy, following your prescriber's order exactly. A nurse practitioner is on site whenever patients are being treated.
Your nurse checks on you throughout your visit and watches for any reaction. Emergency medicines and equipment are always within reach, and our team practices how to use them.
Insurance and cost
We work with Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and commercial insurance. Coverage depends on your plan and your therapy, so we verify your benefits before your first visit and tell you what to expect.
No separate hospital facility fee, because our center is office-based.
We request prior authorization from your insurer for you.
We look for manufacturer copay programs and foundation grants that can lower what you pay.

Common questions
When will infusion therapy start?
We are getting the infusion center ready now. Leave your email and we will tell you as soon as we begin scheduling.
Do I need a referral?
Yes. Infusion therapy needs an order from your prescriber. Once we open, ask your doctor's office to send it to Maumee Integrated Health, or call us and we will contact them for you.
How long will my visit take?
It depends on your medicine. An injection can take less than half an hour. Some infusions take several hours. We will tell you how long to plan for when we schedule your visit.
Can someone come with me?
Yes. There is room beside your chair for a friend or family member.
Can I move my infusions here from a hospital or another center?
Yes. Tell your prescriber you would like to receive your therapy at Maumee Integrated Health. We work with their office to move your order and your insurance authorization so you do not miss a dose.
What will it cost me?
Your cost depends on your insurance plan and your therapy. We check your benefits and give you an estimate before your first visit, and we help you apply for copay assistance if you qualify.
What if I feel unwell during or after my infusion?
Tell your nurse right away if anything feels off during your visit. After you go home, call your prescriber's office with any concerns. If you think you are having an emergency, call 911.
Can I eat, work or sleep during my infusion?
In most cases, yes. Bring your laptop or a book, have a snack, or rest. Your nurse will tell you if your therapy has any special instructions.
