How to Refer a Patient for Non-Chemotherapy Infusions

To refer a patient for non-chemotherapy infusions who is not currently receiving care at Seattle Children’s, call the Infusion advanced practice provider (APP) on service at 206-987-8075 (Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). The APP will confer with you and submit an order for your patient’s infusion. We can accommodate most infusion requests from outside providers.
Outside Provider Referral Form: Please complete this information and submit its contents. Referral Providers must obtain pre-authorization for Insurance coverage for infusion requested.
To request Remdesivir antiviral therapy for your COVID-19 patient, you must contact the Infectious Disease team first. Reach them via the hospital operator at 206-987-2000. The infusion clinic is able to provide this therapy to all pediatric patients who are at high risk for complications from COVID-19. The current COVID-19 variants are not responsive to monoclonal antibody therapy. Thus, we are no longer offering those infusions.

Appointment availability

Updated July 2023.

We are accepting new referrals from non–Seattle Children’s providers for patients needing episodic (example: iron infusions) or non-chemotherapy infusions. We provide those infusions only at our hospital main campus in Seattle. At this time, the referring provider needs to obtain pre-authorization for the medication to be infused.

We accept referrals from Seattle Children’s providers for patients needing all types of infusions and provide them at our 3 locations.
