What is infusion therapy, and how does it work?
Infusion therapy is a treatment method where medications are administered directly into the bloodstream through a needle or catheter. It is typically used when a patient’s condition requires medications that cannot be taken orally. JRA Health coordinates the entire process, ensuring that the right medications are delivered and administered in the comfort of the patient’s home by trusted nursing partners.
What types of conditions are treated with infusion therapy?
Infusion therapy is used to treat a variety of conditions, including infections, immune deficiencies, dehydration, and chronic diseases. At JRA Health, we specialize in managing complex cases, including patients who need IV antibiotics, immune globulin therapy, and hydration therapy.
How do I get started with JRA Health's infusion therapy?
Getting started is easy. First, your healthcare provider will need to refer you to JRA Health for infusion therapy. Once we receive the referral, our team will handle the insurance authorization process, schedule your treatment, and coordinate with nursing professionals to administer the therapy at home.

How do I prepare for my first in-home infusion treatment?
Preparing for your first infusion treatment is simple. Our team will provide detailed instructions ahead of time, including how to get your home ready for the nurse’s visit. It’s important to have a clean, comfortable space for your treatment and to follow any pre-infusion guidelines provided by your healthcare provider, such as staying hydrated or taking pre-medications if necessary.
What if I experience side effects during my infusion therapy?
While infusion therapy is generally safe, some patients may experience side effects such as fatigue, headaches, or mild reactions at the infusion site. If you experience any severe or unusual symptoms, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately, or in the case of an emergency, call 911.
How does the insurance authorization process work?
JRA Health takes care of the entire insurance authorization process on your behalf. Once we receive a prescription from your provider, we will submit the necessary documentation to your insurance company for approval.
