A recent Maryland court ruling striking down the state's 2021 digital advertising tax is renewing scrutiny of Illinois' newly enacted digital advertising tax under SB 3019. The decision found Maryland's ordinance violated federal law and ordered the state to refund taxes collected with interest.

"This should be a glaring warning sign to our State lawmakers who passed Illinois' own version of this legislation this year. Digital ad taxes are bad policy. Whatever revenue needs Illinois has, the answer won't be found in unconstitutional provisions that unfairly target digital platforms, as confirmed by the court,” said Jack Lavin, President and CEO of the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce.

Home Infusion as a Clinical Extension of the Specialist's Care Plan

Home Infusion Options (HIO) serves as a specialized clinical extension for high-threshold specialty practices. For rheumatologists, oncologists, hematologists, immunologists, gastroenterologists, and neurologists, executing long-term maintenance protocols demands precise administration and absolute continuity. HIO's patient-centered, at-home care model is engineered to expertly handle complex and sometimes lengthy IVIG and biologic infusions, utilizing specialized, highly trained nurses to administer these infusions and directly support your clinical strategy.

The Clinical Care Pipeline
1️⃣ Prior Authorization: HIO clears complex biologic and immunoglobulin insurance barriers.
2️⃣ Pharmacy Fulfillment: The in-house pharmacy overnights all prescribed medications and infusion supplies directly to the patient.
3️⃣ Advanced Administration: Dedicated nurses manage complex biologics and IVIG infusions at home.
4️⃣ Data Continuity: HIO transmits real-time clinical notes directly to your provider.

Optimizing Long-Term Outcomes Through Partnership

By transitioning these maintenance therapies into a controlled in-home environment, HIO removes the hospital facility-fee burden and eliminates travel barriers, which drastically optimizes long-term patient compliance.

"While others strive to match the clinical standard of care, our in-house specialty pharmacy and elite nursing team are built to exceed it. This seamless integration allows us to optimize patient outcomes far beyond traditional benchmarks."
-Kathryn, Chief Clinial Officer, Home Infusion Options
For example, when a clinic prescribed high-dose IVIg for an unstable neurological patient, after insurance approval, HIO synchronized within 48 hours, assigned a nurse, and provided real-time updates, successfully avoiding hospital readmission.

At HIO, your clinical intent guides the operations. By standardizing home-based safety, HIO enables high-volume specialties to confidently expand their active patient footprint.

The Biologic Revolution: Reimagining the Site of Care

The expansion of advanced biologics and IVIG therapies is rewriting the clinical playbook—but traditional, fragmented hospital delivery models are burning patients out.

For patients managing complex diagnoses, shifting the site of care to the home or workplace removes critical failure points. Clinical data featured in The American Journal of Managed Care reveals that eliminating travel secures clinical continuity while maintaining safety profiles equivalent to understaffed hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs).

"True clinical innovation means nothing if the delivery model breaks the patient. By eliminating hospital transit and absorbing the entire prior authorization and billing bureaucracy, we protect the patient from treatment fatigue so they can focus entirely on healing."

Kathryn Glaybo Chief Clinical Officer, Home Infusion Options

At Home Infusion Options (HIO), they act as a seamless extension of your medical practice. Founded in the Chicago area in 2018, HIO completely eliminates the administrative drag so your medical team can focus on treating patients:

Zero Bureaucracy: HIO's integrated, in-house billing team and specialty pharmacy handle all insurance pre-approvals, complex billing, and prior authorizations.

Financial Peace of Mind: Beyond an initial co-pay, patients never have to worry about an unexpected bill or medicine delivery timing.

Elite In-Home Clinical Care: HIO pairs specialized nurses with hyper-individualized clinical protocols to allow patients to heal in absolute comfort.

Closed-Loop Communication: HIO ensures that the medical practice stays fully informed with seamless clinical updates and continuous communication.

Let HIO handle the administrative burden so your patients can focus on healing.
