At GI For Kids, we have a dedicated infusion center for our patients with specialized infusion nurses. We try to make the experience as comfortable as possible with comfortable recliners, adjustable lighting, and internet access with available streaming services.
We can accommodate up to six patients at a time and our infusions are given Monday – Friday between the hours of 8:00 am and 3:00 pm.
| Medication | Length of Infusion |
|---|---|
| Remicade | 3-4 hours |
| Entyvio | 30 minutes |
| Stelara | 1 hour |
Insurance authorizations may take multiple days (or longer) so please notify us immediately of any changes in the patient’s insurance. Most medications have co-pay assistance programs (not income based) for commercial insurance holders. These programs are free to enroll and will reimburse up to $20,000 dollars each year so please ask about enrollment. See links below:
