                                  • A contracted vendor will provide the infusion care, including
                                     medication administration, teaching and weekly maintenance/labs.
                                  • The CHHA will have oversight of the infusion services and coordinate
                                     with the infusion operations team.
                                  • Vendors also provide supplies and medications as needed.

                                  Who will provide the Infusion Care in the Home ?


                                  • A non‐VNSNY contracted Infusion vendor nurse will provide the
                                     infusion care (Medication administration teaching and weekly line
                                     maintenance/labs)
                                  • This is usually termed a “bill through”.
                                      -  It is very important that the VNSNY intake team educate the
                                         patient that VNSNY will coordinate the homecare episode to
                                         prevent refusal of VNSNY RN at SOC.
                                      -  If the VNSNY RN cannot start the care the vendor will not be able
                                         to continue to provide infusion services


                                  • VNSNY CHHA will have oversight of the services.


                                  * The Vendor absolutely has to fax or email their orders to VNSNY Intake
