Pre-Authorization

You need a doctor's referral before you can make an appointment at the Infusion Center. Our staff obtains pre-authorization, and we'll let you know what to bring to your first appointment, including:

  • All the medicines you're taking, in the original containers, or a list of them with the dosage, strength and frequency you take them.
  • A list of your allergies.
  • Paperwork from your doctor's office.

The Outpatient Infusion Center is located on the first floor of UM Capital Region Medical Center. For questions or to make an appointment, please call 240-677-2180.
