The increased use of infusible biologics to treat many chronic diseases has opened new and exciting opportunities for specialty practices to provide more integrated care for patients.

As a physician, having an in-office infusion center allows you to improve your patient’s quality of care by allowing your patients to receive treatment in a familiar and supportive setting.

However, managing an infusion center is a demanding job requiring skill and expertise in many areas outside of your usual clinical scope. And this is one of the biggest drawbacks for many doctors who feel the task would compromise their ability to care for patients.

The concern is valid and needs to weigh heavily on whether operating an in-office infusion center is the right move for your practice.

The Role of Biologic Management Companies

The current healthcare climate is evidence of the critical need for comprehensive solutions to help specialists close the care gap for chronic disease patients. As a treating physician without an in-office infusion center, referring patients to a hospital for their infusion therapy can diminish your direct involvement in their care.

Biologic Management companies are here to provide reliable and affordable solutions to enable you to provide your patients with a completedly integrated care solution.

You may not have the time or experience to run the nuts and bolts of an in office infusion center. With the help of the right biologic management company, you can continue to devote your time to caring for your patients and not worry about the staffing, inventory, and reimbursement claims related to an in-office infusion center.

The process of operating a thriving infusion center requires a well-thought out management strategy comprised of clinical and administrative staff, billing and coding, purchasing, inventory management, and best practices for reimbursement methodologies.
