Our Baptist Outpatient Infusion Center is centrally located on our Memphis campus, so your patients can receive the advanced infusion therapies they need at a convenient location that’s close to home.

Our exceptional teams are staffed by experienced nurses who are trained in managing complex infusions and addressing the side effects that may occur.
Patient Assistance and Financial Counseling
We understand that these treatments may cause financial challenges for some patients. That’s why Baptist has a team of financial counselors and patient assistance coordinators who can provide personalized guidance to patients to identify financial support options to help alleviate concerns they may have during treatment so they can focus on their recovery.
These services include:
- Charity care programs for uninsured patients
- Patient financial assistance programs
- Insurance counseling to help patients navigate private insurance, Medicare and Medicaid to understand their benefits and how they apply to their treatment
- Patient education on therapies, successful recovery and the potential costs of care. At Baptist, our care goes beyond the medical needs of our patients to include their financial, emotional and spiritual well-being to care for the whole patient and their family
