Summary Plan Description

Infusion Therapy—90%

Services and Supplies Must Be Preauthorized With the Trust Office
Benefits are provided for services and supplies for infusion therapy including, but not limited to, total nutritional therapy administered intravenously and IV antibiotics. All infusion therapy must be preauthorized with the Trust Office and must be part of the written treatment plan provided by the attending physician including type and duration of the program. All therapy must be provided under the physician's supervision and the patient must continue under the care of the physician during the time the therapy is provided. The Trust Office may require the physician to periodically evaluate the therapy treatment and certify that continuing therapy is required. The plan reserves the right to select a less costly supplier to provide the services and supplies.

Helpful Hint

When you preauthorize infusion therapy with the Trust Office, we can negotiate the price with the supplier, allowing your benefit dollars to go further.
