Getting an Infusion in Lake Charles
Do I need a referral?
Almost always. Infusion clinics give drugs your doctor orders, so they need the order, recent labs and your insurance card before they can book you. IV hydration lounges are the exception.
Is a clinic cheaper than a hospital in Lake Charles?
Often, yes. Hospital outpatient departments can bill a facility fee on top of the drug. Ask your insurer to compare an independent infusion clinic with the hospital before your first dose.
How long will I be there?
From 30 minutes for a shot or short drip to 4 hours or more for IVIG or a first dose of a biologic. The clinic will tell you when they book.
