Do you really think there's not going to be an extra charge for that service, and they're doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.

Like I said in my first post. The company will make 30% rather than 60% margin but better than 0. The insurance companies are not going to pay extra for this service because the company will off set this charge under the auspices of the designed program. I never said it would be a free service. And yes, sometimes companies do not charge patients under the patient assistance programs designed for indigent patients.

Hi. In response to insurance companies paying for home IV services....I am new to the board but have been following quite closely over the past 6 months. I own quite a few shares. I want to address the discussion around the RN coming to the patients home or office to deliver IV therapy. Insurance companies are paying to have medications administered in the home, office or lower cost outpatient infusion centers because it costs less than administering it in the hospital out patient. Additionally, if patients can continue to work while receiving the medications their productivity is not diminished.
