FAQs Monoclonal Antibody Infusion

How long does the treatment take?
Expect to be here about three hours. The actual infusion takes about 30 minutes with one hour of observation afterwards. There is also pre-work that happens prior to the infusion.

Is there a cost? Does insurance cover it?
We do bill insurance for the infusion, but not for the medication. The medication is currently provided to us at no cost.

Can I bring someone with me?
No. Because the area is protected and the patients receiving infusions have COVID, we cannot have guests.

Do I need a physician referral?
Physician referrals are preferred for patients that do not get their care at University Health.

Where is the infusion center located?
It is located in the University Health 2 building on the ground floor.

Where do I park?
Parking is located in the Medical Pavilion parking lot at 2301 Charlotte Street and transportation is available to the UH2 building. When your appointment is made, you will be given a phone number for the transportation.
