The nation's voice for infusion providers.
About us
National Infusion Center (NICA) is a nonprofit trade association and the nation’s voice for non-hospital, community-based infusion providers that offer a safe, more affordable, and more cost-effective alternative to hospital care settings for provider-administered medications. NICA's efforts are focused on delivery channel sustainability and expansion, buy-and-bill protection, maintaining net positive reimbursement, improving treatment adherence, and promoting patient safety and care quality. We support policies that improve drug affordability for beneficiaries, increase price transparency, reduce disparities in quality of care and safety across care settings, and enable care delivery in the highest-quality, lowest-cost care setting. Our goal is to help decision makers understand the value of receiving provider-administered medications in non-hospital care settings and ensure that the community-based infusion center remains a safe, more efficient, and more cost-effective alternative to hospital care settings.

On behalf of the non-hospital, community-based infusion providers we represent across the country and the patients they provide care for, NICA commends the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for deciding not to move forward with the proposal to “stack” drug discounts in the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program (MDRP). We sincerely appreciate HHS and CMS for heeding the calls from NICA and our provider members, members of Congress, patient, provider, and health equity advocates, and others on the harms this rule would pose to patients and those who care for them – especially in America’s infusion centers. #infusionprovider #medicalprovider #infusion #infusioncenter #infusionnurse #infusiondeliverychannel #medicalinfusionprovider #futureofhealthcare
