Summary
EmblemHealth is encouraging providers to consider alternative infusion sites including home-based infusion, provider offices, and in-network infusion centers rather than defaulting to traditional hospital-based infusion. This policy promotes more convenient and comfortable options for patients receiving infusion medications.
Action Required
Immediately: Review current infusion referral patterns and identify EmblemHealth patients who could benefit from alternative infusion sites. Update referral protocols to consider home infusion services, in-office administration when appropriate, and in-network regional infusion centers. Train staff on available infusion options to discuss with patients during treatment planning.
