Your infusion visit, start to finish.
Your doctor prescribes the therapy. We handle the insurance, the scheduling and the treatment itself, in a room you will be glad to walk into.
How it works
Your doctor sends us your order
Your specialist prescribes the therapy and sends the order to Sunlit. You do not need to do anything to get started.
We check your insurance
We confirm your coverage, request prior authorization and tell you what you can expect to pay. If copay help is available, we help you apply.
We call you to schedule
A member of our team calls to find a time that works for you and answers your questions.
You come in for treatment
Your nurse reviews your health and your medicines, checks your vital signs, starts your IV or gives your injection, and stays close the whole time.
We update your doctor
After each visit we send treatment notes to your prescriber and book your next appointment before you leave.
What to bring
Photo ID and your insurance cards
A list of the medicines you take
Something to read, watch or listen to
A sweater if you tend to feel cold
A friend or family member, if you would like company
The room is part of the care.
Sunlit centers are bright on purpose. White walls, warm yellows and oranges, and as much daylight as we can bring in.
Some infusions take a few hours. We would like those hours to feel like time to yourself.
Comfort
Reclining chairs, warm blankets and pillows.
Company
Room beside you for a friend or family member.
Connection
Wi-Fi for work, shows or a call with someone you love.
Refreshments
Snacks and drinks while you are with us.
Who looks after you
Every treatment is given by a nurse trained in infusion therapy, following your prescriber's order exactly. A supervising provider is on site whenever patients are being treated.
Your nurse checks on you throughout your visit and watches for any reaction. Emergency medicines and equipment are always within reach, and our team practices how to use them.
Insurance and cost
Sunlit works with Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid and commercial insurance. Coverage depends on your plan and your therapy, so we verify your benefits before your first visit and tell you what to expect.
No separate hospital facility fee, because our centers are office-based.
We request prior authorization from your insurer for you.
We look for manufacturer copay programs and foundation grants that can lower what you pay.
Common questions
Do I need a referral?
Yes. Infusion therapy needs an order from your prescriber. Ask your doctor's office to send it to Sunlit, or call us and we will contact them for you.
How long will my visit take?
It depends on your medicine. An injection can take less than half an hour. Some infusions take several hours. We will tell you how long to plan for when we schedule your visit.
Can someone come with me?
Yes. There is room beside your chair for a friend or family member.
Can I move my infusions to Sunlit from a hospital or another center?
Yes. Tell your prescriber you would like to receive your therapy at Sunlit. We work with their office to move your order and your insurance authorization so you do not miss a dose.
What will it cost me?
Your cost depends on your insurance plan and your therapy. We check your benefits and give you an estimate before your first visit, and we help you apply for copay assistance if you qualify.
What if I feel unwell during or after my infusion?
Tell your nurse right away if anything feels off during your visit. After you go home, call your prescriber's office with any concerns. If you think you are having an emergency, call 911.
Can I eat, work or sleep during my infusion?
In most cases, yes. Bring your laptop or a book, have a snack, or rest. Your nurse will tell you if your therapy has any special instructions.
