I.V. Care

Our goal is to make I.V. care safe and easy for you to use at home by blending advanced medical care with a compassionate touch. 

At Heartland, we realize that after a hospital stay returning home can be stressful, especially if there are added responsibilities related to your or your loved one’s health care.  Remaining independent is vitally important, and receiving I.V. care at home means you can resume many of your daily routines.

Home I.V. care or infusion therapy is the administration of I.V. medications or nutritional supplements through a catheter placed in the bloodstream or digestive system.  Heartland’s I.V. care services are provided by specially trained pharmacists and nurses who work with your physician to oversee the administration of I.V. medications and tube feedings at home.  Our I.V. pharmacies prepare medications, provide administration supplies and coordinate care with your physician and nursing provider. 



Would you or your loved one benefit from I.V. care?


Heartland I.V. care specializes in caring for patients with a wide variety of medical conditions requiring I.V. or infusion therapy. If you struggle with any of these issues, you may need and could benefit from home I.V. care:


  • Cancer
  • Serious infection
  • GI disease
  • Chronic pain
  • Immune disorder
  • Neurological disease


Home I.V. care is a service of Heartland Home Health Care.  Patients receiving I.V. care are supported, monitored and educated by Heartland’s professional staff. Heartland provides support to patients and family members by identifying goals and potential obstacles, and helping the patient recover, understand and identify symptoms, manage medication and learn to deal with anxiety, fear or other feelings that come with illness. 

At Heartland, we help preserve our patients’ dignity, show them the respect they richly deserve and provide compassionate care through our Caring Promises.


Paying for I.V. home care

 

I.V. care is covered by most insurance companies as a medical benefit.  Also, patients with Medicare may have coverage for some I.V. care.  We will contact your insurance company to verify coverage for I.V. care services and bill the insurance company directly.
