Hello, I have been getting IVIG at home infusions for nearby four years under private insurance. Starting in July of this year I have been on Medicare and only been able to get  infusions through an Outpatient Infusion center. I have been unable to get at home infusions set up through Medicare by my Provider. My question is "are any of you located in the USA currently getting in home infusions of IVIG through Medicare?"

Hi, my husband started infusions in 2019 and was never offered at home. He's been on Medicare for 2 years and still gets infusions at the hospital. We didn't know home infusions were an option.

My husband had IVIG at home for years paid for by private insurance. In fact, because I am a nurse I was able to administer it myself. But when he went on Medicare he had to go to an infusion center. There is no other way Medicare will pay for it.
