Treatment is available on the hospital List of Medications (Liste des établissements). It can be given as an outpatient.

While some private insurances do cover the IV treatment in infusion clinics, some do not even have it on their list, if that’s the case then you should contact them directly for assistance.

Private Insurance

For patients with a personal health insurance, search for the drug (using sometimes its commercial name) download and fill out the appropriate prior authorization form. If you are unable to find the drug, you should fill out the General Form available on the same page (contact me if you have trouble locating it).
