Frequently Asked Questions

New York Cancer and Blood Specialists can handle all infusion drugs, whether they’re for chronic illnesses or for chemotherapy.

Receiving an infusion can be scary or uncomfortable. Hospital infusion locations are often more expensive for members, may offer fewer choices for scheduling appointments or may be far from your patient’s home or office. This adds to the burden of an already difficult diagnosis. Receiving their infusion treatments at a comfortable infusion center near to them can save them time and money while being less stressful.

We can arrange for New York Cancer and Blood Specialists to reach out to members who are eligible to move to another location and help them with this transition. We are committed to making this a smooth transition for them.
