Solu-medrol

What is Solu-medrol?

Solu-medrol, also known as Methylprednisolone, is a corticosteroid that is used to treat inflammation in a variety of illness and autoimmune diseases.

Methylprednisolone works by a hormone that is produced in your body’s adrenal glands called cortisol. Cortisol plays a key role in ensuring in regulating your body’s anti- inflammatory processes and other immune functions. 

For many people dealing with inflammatory illnesses, their bodies may not be producing enough cortisol. By providing your body with Methylprednisolone, it helps naturally trigger your body’s immune response to lower inflammation.

Solu-medrol Cost

Solu-medrol cost can vary depending on several factors including insurance status and insurance provider. At Pure Infusion Suites, we are committed to lowering costs and improving access for our patients. Our team of patient access coordinators are here to set you up for success. 

We work with a growing list of insurance providers, and are always working to ensure claims/authorizations are processed efficiently. All patients are enrolled in co-pay assistance programs to assist in covering costs of treatment.

Additionally, data from an Artemetrx report shows average costs at an outpatient hospital facility are more than 3X higher than costs at an ambulatory infusion center. That means we save our patients’ money, while offering a more comfortable experience!

Before your infusion, it is important to drink plenty of water and come to your appointment hydrated. Additionally, you must alert us as soon as possible to any changes in your insurance to ensure that we are still an in-network provider for your infusion therapy.

  1. Your dedicated Infusion nurse will check your vitals and review your medical history to check for improvements or potential side effects of your infusion therapy. 
  2. Your nurse will begin your infusion and check in on you periodically during your treatment.
