The Administrative staff of HomeCare I.V. of Bend, Inc 
completes the
solutions team. Billing, inventory, delivery and clinical
support work together with nurses, pharmacists and pharmacy
technicians.
Medical Claims: Our Claims Department has
one of the most challenging jobs in the healthcare
industry. Home infusion billing and coding
is complex. Claims are paid 
differently by public and
private payers and claims procedures and requirements are
in constant flux. Public payment mechanisms haven’t kept
pace with the private sector and, at present, Medicare does not
pay for many home infusion
therapies. Both public and private payers require documentation
such as plans of care, doctors' orders, and nurses notes before
sending payment. Home infusion claims take longer to be paid
than any other sector of healthcare.
Our dedicated team of experts
know the system well and can answer your questions about
coverage and payment. For a partial list of insurance
companies we participate with, see our Partners page.

Purchasing and Delivery: Each home infusion
patient requires a different combination of supplies. While
pharmacists and pharmacist technicians prepare medications,
supplies are being picked and packed by trained technicians and
packaging is being 
prepared for
the medications. Supplies may include infusion pumps, I.V.
poles, sterile dressing supplies, tubing, I.V. catheter care
kits, patient education materials, and other equipment,
depending on the individual needs of the patient and his or her
therapy.
Our purchasing technician coordinates with the clinical staff to meet the challenges of 'just-in-time' inventory management. This method of inventory control enhances our cost-effectiveness and insures current supplies.
HomeCare I.V. of Bend, Inc. has earned the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval™.
