Convenient, expert immunoglobulin support

Immunoglobulin (or IG) provides life-saving therapy, so Optum® Infusion Pharmacy makes it simple to get the IG treatments you need when you need them. We support treatment where and when it’s convenient for you — in your home or in an infusion suite. And our clinical experts coordinate with your health care team so you can do more of the things you love.

How we help you

We support intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG) treatments. We’ll coordinate your care in the following ways:

  • Deliver your IG on time to the location you choose
  • Provide your infusion at the best location for you – your home or a convenient infusion suite
  • Provide condition-specific education and support
  • Talk to you about financial support and copay help programs
  • Handle appeals after a claim denial
  • Coordinate care with your provider
  • Provide help through virtual visits or phone calls
  • Connect with a care team member to help you stay on track and limit side effects

If you have any questions, you can call us 24/7. We’re in this together.
