Infusion or Injection

IF THE FACILITY ASKS ABOUT

  • If you are able to self-infuse, BD SUMHAC suggests the following language:

    • “I have had this chronic issue my whole life and have learned to manage my condition with the support of my [hemophilia treatment center or bleeding disorder treatment team].”

    • “I can independently give myself my medication, just like I do at home, which will be taken in private, only takes about 5 minutes, and can be stored at the facility.”

    • “I regularly give myself my medication at home as directed by my physician without any medical supervision or assistance.”

    If you will require an external provider to give you medication, BD SUMHAC suggests the following language:

    • “I have a well-controlled medical condition that requires regular treatment that can be given by a provider at the facility. If you do not have a provider who is able to give me my medication, my [hemophilia treatment center or bleeding disorder treatment team] would be happy to work with your medical director to develop a plan of care so that I can stay stable on my medication, just like I do at home.”
