Our Clinical Team

CLINCIAL NURSE LIAISON

Taking responsibility for the education, training and coordination of the home infusion therapy sets Intramed Plus apart. Our nurse clinicians provide all education and training, oversee the successful first dose administered in the home, and are available to support the patient throughout their infusion experience to ensure patient comfort and successful completion of the prescribed therapy.

Clinical Pharmacy Services

Each patient's therapy is managed by a certified Home Infusion Pharmacist who verifies the physician's order and coordinates the start of therapy. Our pharmacy team works closely with physicians in developing a treatment plan tailored specifically for each patient. Our pharmacists will monitor the patient's progress throughout the therapy and coordinate all clinical findings with the physician, Home Health or Hospice Agency, and the patient.

CLINICAL DIETITIAN

Our experienced Clinical Dietitians are integral part of our Home Nutrition Support Team and leads our efforts to provide a patient-tailored nutrition plan in meeting the patient's nutrition needs. Each patient is assessed and monitored for progress with their nutritional plan. Our Team works collaboratively with the patient's physician with updated assessments and recommendations for guidance in meeting the patient's needs and goals.

Each patient is assigned a personal Reimbursement Specialist to discuss financial responsibilities and details of medical coverage benefits. We take pride in our proactive and accurate reimbursement services. Intramed Plus is a recognized infusion provider with all major insurance companies and managed care networks servicing South Carolina and bordering states.

Each patient is assigned a dedicated Patient Representative who contacts them weekly to assist the patient in ordering medications and supplies needed for the next delivery.
