In recent years, the benefits of home infusion have been recognized by physicians, hospitals, and other caregivers for the delivery of medications, fluids, blood productions and prenatal nutrition solutions.
 The professional Home Infusion team at Health Mart Pharmacy is lead by Chad Miller. Chad's team coordinates with the physician and nursing teams, monitors patient progress through lab work, assists patients to find the most effective patient care, documents results, provides education, and develops treatment programs. Our "no-worry" health care services theme is applied to our payment policies and our experts in our reimbursement department can bill private insurance companies, Medicare and Medicate. Because our team at Health Mart includes pharmacists and certified pharmacy technicians, we understand policies and criteria required for home care, and most cases are approved withing twenty-four hours from the start of care.
At Health Mart Pharmacy, we provide subcutaneous, intravenous and epidural delivery methods for pain management.
What Is Infusion Therapy?
Infusion therapy is a medial therapy involving the prolonged and often repeated administration of pharmaceutical products and nutritional solutions through the bloodstream.
Most infusion therapies are administered intramuscularly, intravenously, subcutaneously, or epidurally. Infusion therapy is also referred to as "parenteral" therapy.
Common infusion drug therapies include intravenous antibiotics, antifungals and antivirals; pain management products; chemo-therapy agents; immune globulin; growth hormones; colony stimulating factors and other biotechnology and traditional drug products that must, for therapeutic reasons, be administered directly into the bloodstream.
Another common infusion therapy is total parenteral nutrition. Parenteral nutrition is design to meet the daily caloric requirements and nutritional needs of patients who digestive systems do not function sufficiently to absorb nutrients to maintain weight and strength through oral nutritional intake.

Consumer Information
Home infusion therapy is one of the most remarkable examples of transferring health care technology and services into the home. When administered by a qualified provider, a home infusion therapy program is similar to a hospital-based regimen. Therapy delivered at home, however, relies on patient and caregiver involvement. The benefit of that involvement is the patient's increased comfort and flexibility throughout the course of treatment.
