The ongoing collaboration will further enhance efficiency and patient access to infusion therapy
Annexus Health, Inc., the leading healthcare technology company that is revolutionizing the patient access journey through its innovative solutions, today announced it will continue its strategic partnership with the National Infusion Center Association (NICA) into 2025. The two like-minded organizations first partnered in 2023, with the common objective of improving access and affordability of infusion therapy for patients across the country.
“Many of the critical therapies administered in the infusion center setting are extremely costly—prohibitively so for some patients,” said Annexus Health Co-Founder and CEO, Joe Baffone. “We’re working together with NICA to ensure infusion centers can find, secure, and manage financial assistance for every eligible patient, with a shared goal of eliminating financial toxicity as a barrier to care.”
Annexus Health’s AssistPoint® software platform is currently licensed by 140+ healthcare organizations across 4,000+ sites of care, including over 600 infusion centers. It seamlessly integrates with infusion management systems, including WeInfuse, and is integrated with a growing number of patient support programs offered by life science companies and charitable foundations. This connectivity minimizes time-consuming manual processes and allows infusion centers to work within an integrated digital environment to easily and efficiently search for patient assistance opportunities, enroll eligible patients, and manage fulfillment of services.
NICA is an independent trade association and accredited standards developer representing more than 12,000 infusion sites spanning all 50 states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico. The nonprofit is dedicated to ensuring infusion centers remain a safe, more efficient, and more cost-effective alternative to hospital settings for consistent, high-quality care.
“At NICA, we are dedicated to empowering community-based infusion providers and outpatient care settings to deliver life-changing therapies to patients efficiently and effectively,” said NICA CEO, Brian Nyquist. “Our partnership with Annexus Health enhances our ability to support these providers by addressing operational challenges and financial barriers to expand access to the care their patients need. Together, we are working to improve the affordability of care while ensuring the sustainability, adaptability, and growth of infusion centers in a constantly evolving healthcare environment.”
