Nursing Home Facilities
Non Part A nursing home residents can receive all injections/infusions (Reclast/Bonival/Xolair, Iron, ect.) along with other IV infusion therapies at no cost to your facility. Tallahatchie General Hospital’s Outpatient Infusion Services will bill Medicare, Medicaid, and/or private insurances for these services directly.
While not under Part A care, Medicare/Medicaid does not expect nursing home facilities to provide these costly infusion/injection therapies under their current fixed rate payment system. You facility would benefit financially by referring residents to us for these services as it would not detract from your current PPS payment.
We can provide infusions from daily antibiotics to protective and/or preventative therapies that are only given weekly, monthly or even just once a year.
