How we work in
Pulmonary Hypertension including PAH
What is Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare and serious medical condition producing high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, which are the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the lungs. In a healthy circulatory system, the pressure in the pulmonary arteries is much lower than that in the systemic arteries (which supply oxygenated blood to the rest of the body). In PH, the pressure in these arteries becomes abnormally elevated. Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension is a form of PH where the pulmonary arteries become narrow and stiff, making it harder for blood to flow through them.
Inservio Home & Pulmonary Hypertension
Inservio Home delivers specialty medication to more than 70% of PAH patients throughout Australia. Our range of free services to patients include:
By choosing Inservio Home to be your agent to act on your behalf, we can obtain your prescription from your doctor, supply it to a specialty pharmacy, collect your dispensed medicine from that pharmacy and deliver to you.
We can connect you with a pharmacist who is experienced in PH medicines, including support and medication counselling.
We work with specialist pharmacies around the country who have committed to stock all PH medications.
Our patient coordinators will help manage and streamline your ongoing prescriptions and medication supply needs by working with you, your clinical team and the specialist pharmacy.
Inservio Home does not charge you for its services, (including delivery to your home or another nominated address). The only fee which you may be required to pay is a legislated PBS co-payment charged by the pharmacy dispensing your medicine. This is the same fee you would pay to obtain your medication from any other pharmacy.
