NHIA President & CEO Connie Sullivan responds to recent alarmist news stories based on flawed research about CLABSI surveillance in home infusion.
“Misleading stories about the risks of home infusion have real consequences and may result in fewer patients eventually having access to these essential services.”
NHIA is disappointed by the characterization of a recent study regarding infection control in home infusion, which the association asserts is not at all reflective of home infusion therapy standards and practices.
On December 2, 2022, NHIA sent a follow-up letter to Defense Health Agency, including a copy to Express Scripts (ESI), sharing recent updates on efforts by ESI to narrow the TRICARE pharmacy network and urging the DOD to reinstate all home infusion providers to the ESI network to prevent disruptions in home infusion access for TRICARE beneficiaries.
NHIA’s Clinical Program Manager Michelle Simpson, PharmD, BCSCP, MWC presented research conducted by the National Home Infusion Foundation (NHIF) at ID Week, the meeting of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) held October 19-23 in Washington, D.C.
A diverse group of 30 patient and stakeholder groups are calling on Congress to address Medicare beneficiary access to home infusion services. In a letter to lawmakers, which brings together stakeholders from across the care continuum, the groups urge congressional leaders to advance the Preserving Patient Access to Home Infusion Act (S. 2652/H.R. 5067) and increase access to home infusion therapy for Medicare beneficiaries.
Registration is now open for the National Home Infusion Association’s 2023 Annual Conference (NHIA 2023), to be held March 25-29, 2023, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in Washington, D.C.
NHIA member pharmacies began reporting that TRICARE patients had received letters from Express Scripts stating the local home infusion pharmacy they currently use will not be in network as of October 24, 2022. NHIA sent a letter to Defense Health Agency and Express Scripts requesting the repeal of any network pharmacy cancellations.
