We invest in your patients’ healthcare.

Partner with Pentec Health

Your dedication to the health and well-being of your patients is unmatched. But when some intrathecal (IT) pump patients require more attention with their pump management, your schedule may not support the time needed to provide care to other patients in your practice. How can you ensure that your patients will receive the highest quality of care for pump management and bring balance back to your schedule? Our team of highly trained nurses and pharmacists is here to help you provide the highest quality of care for your intrathecal pump patients.

The Problem - The many challenges of treating IT pump patients.

In addition to managing their pain or spasticity, your intrathecal (IT) pump patients have very specific needs that require a higher level of care. Between the paperwork and keeping up with ever-changing skill requirements, you and your staff try to provide the most-effective, specialized care for these patients. Often, IT pump patients require more of your time and attention, and this may greatly affect your ability to treat other patients as effectively as you would like.

The Solution - Our DrugPlus™ programs handle every aspect of IT pump refills.

Our programs aim to help your patients better manage their pain and spasticity. We have 120+ specialized nurses to help provide expert refill services and wrap around in-home care for qualified patients. Patient-specific medications are compounded in our sterile pharmacy by pharmacists and technicians who specialized in IT pump medication. An expert pharmacist is also on staff available 24/7/365 to consult with you, monitor medication and provide follow-ups.
