First and foremost, thank you for your dedication to caring for patients! We admire and appreciate your efforts to improve the quality of life and health outcomes among your patients.

Our 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. 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.

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.

Partnership is an annual commitment made on a calendar year basis with dues based upon the chosen partnership level. Dues may be paid on an annual or monthly basis.

As an infusion provider, you have a vested interest in the sustainability of the infusion delivery channel and its ability to serve vulnerable patient populations. As a NICA Provider Member, your office will have a voice and a seat at the table to inform NICA’s activities and remain highly engaged in the expansion and optimization of the infusion industry.

Provider Membership represents a mutual partnership focused on preserving and expanding the non-hospital, community-based market for provider-administered medications. Provider Member support, engagement, and input informs NICA’s efforts to meet the unique needs of infusion providers.

If your organization meets the following criteria, we welcome your support through NICA Provider Membership:

Dues payments to National Infusion Center Association (NICA) are not deductible as charitable contribution for federal income tax purposes. However, dues payments may be deductible as ordinary and necessary business expense, subject to exclusion for lobbying activity.

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 alternative to hospital care settings for provider-administered medications.

Since 2010, NICA has overcome countless barriers to care, access obstacles, and threats to our nation’s non-hospital, community-based delivery channel for provider-administered medications. The NICA team was instrumental in reversing several immediate threats in recent years that would have carried profound economic implications and significantly reduced access to care.

NICA is dedicated to ensuring that the nation’s infusion centers remain a safe, more efficient, and more cost-effective alternative to hospital settings for consistent, high-quality care.
