Intravenous biologic medications have improved gastroenterology patient care in recent decades. These drugs target the individual molecules that trigger inflammation, and because the administration of these “smart” therapies is intravenous, it provides faster symptom relief with fewer adverse effects.

Even though more doctors are prescribing biologics to help manage chronic illness in gastroenterology patients, for many gastroenterologists, offering in-office infusions is not a priority at this time.

Many physicians shy away from opening an in-office infusion suite because they feel they do not have the necessary resources to operate it efficiently. While they recognize that the gastroenterology market is growing, they fear that dealing with pre-authorizations, inventory, and reimbursement will interfere with their ability to care for patients and overwhelm their staff with additional duties.

These concerns are valid but unnecessary because with the help of an in-office infusion management company, gastroenterologists can dedicate their full attention to patient care without fear of overworking their current staff.
