Our certified nursing staff have an average of 10 years of direct patient care experience, and are
trained and certified in all aspects of complex and chronic infusion therapy including Chemotherapy,
IVIG, and IV Antibiotics. And to ensure their skill levels continue to exceed industry standards,
our nurses are required to attend quarterly training seminars on new techniques and drugs available

Choosing an infusion therapy center that is right for you is one of the most important steps toward managing your long term care.
Don't risk incurring a large, unexpected medical bill. Check with the infusion facility or your
insurance carrier to determine if treatment is covered under your insurance plan and if there
are any applicable co-payments. If your desired facility is not on the provider list, request an
estimate of the fees associated with your prescribed treatment prior to beginning therapy.
Premier Point is an approved provider for most major carriers. We also offer a very competitive
fee schedule and flexible payment terms for direct-pay patients.
Is the facility close to your home or office? Can it
accommodate your busy work life schedule? Is parking available? All of these factors contribute to
your ability to adhere to your prescribed treatment program.
Premier Point Ambulatory Infusion Centers have locations in Deerfield, Oak Lawn, Oak Brook and Lake
Shore Drive. We offer free pick up service (for the first 3 visits) from your home directly to our
front door within a 40 mile radius of the center. Appointments are available within 3 business days
of contacting us at a time that fits your schedule-including early mornings, evenings, and weekends.
And, we guarantee your therapy session will begin within 20 minutes of your scheduled appointment
time (requires on-time arrival).
Rest assured that the Premier Point staff will guide
you throughout the process, answer all of your questions, and keep you fully informed of any
changes in your prescribed treatment and your progress toward your treatment goals. And
remember, you can contact us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and speak with a nurse with immediate
access to your specific care plan and clinical history.
Prior to your scheduled appointment, you will receive via mail or email detailed instructions
for pre-medications that should be taken before your infusion including dosage and the best time
to take them. You will also receive hydration instructions, as directed by your healthcare
practitioner, most suited for your specific condition. Your assigned infusion therapy ambassador
will contact you 24 hours prior to confirm your appointment and answer any questions. If you
haven’t already done so, feel free to indicate a preference for a private or community infusion
room at that time.
Try to arrive at least fifteen minutes before your scheduled appointment time to complete the
intake forms, and be certain to bring a list or photocopy of the labels of any medications you
are currently taking. It is especially important that we also know the prescribed dosages. Wear
loose-fitting clothing to allow the medical staff to easily and properly monitor your vitals,
and feel free to bring your favorite snacks and beverages, or take advantage of the
complimentary refreshments available at our infusion center. After completing your check-in, you
will be provided a tour of the facility and given an opportunity to select your choice of
available entertainment materials from our library.
After your infusion session, you will have a discharge meeting with your nurse to answer any
questions, schedule your next therapy session, if required, and review the check-list of signs
and symptoms to report to your referring physician should they occur. You will also receive a
follow-up call from your infusion therapy ambassador the next day. All information concerning
your infusion therapy sessions is automatically transmitted electronically to your referring
physician, and is also available 24 hours a day on our secure portal. Remember, you have choices
about who delivers and where you receive your infusion therapy. Premier Point Ambulatory
Infusion Center is dedicated to providing you the highest level of care, understanding, and
support throughout your journey toward good health.
Outpatient care providers will often persuade patients to
switch doctors. At Premier Point, we do not believe this to be in the patient's best interest. The
best health outcomes happen when our ambulatory infusion center works with the patient's established
providers, ensuring coordinated care and ensuring our patients keep an appropriate schedule with
their doctors.
At Premier Point, we view ourselves as an extension of the certifying doctor's care, always honoring
the doctor-patient relationship.
To make certain any prescribed treatment is covered under the patient's insurance plan, our Premier
Point verification team always verifies appropriate health coverage for the proposed dates of
service and that the patient's benefit package covers every applicable service. We promptly submit
all claims on behalf of our patients, and patients are not involved until claims have been processed
by their insurance provider. Flexible payment plans can be arranged upon request.
