What your patients can expect
Ascension care teams work as an extension of your care team to help your patients receive ordered infusion therapy.
- Prompt scheduling: Our centralized team coordinates scheduling directly with the infusion center, minimizing coordination for your office.
- Efficient visits: Therapy duration is kept as short as clinically appropriate — typically 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the medication. When lab draws are required, total visit time also includes the time needed to receive and review results before treatment can proceed.
- Clinically aligned therapy: Our pharmacy-led team ensures patients receive the most appropriate IV infusion therapy, balancing your clinical intent with insurance formulary requirements, site-of-care mandates and patient-specific considerations, including cost, number of treatments and access barriers (like transportation).
