IVIG Therapy in Scarsdale, NY and Greenwich, CT
Your immune system should protect you. When it turns against your own nerves, blood cells, or tissues instead, the damage compounds quietly. SeeBeyond Medicine offers physician-supervised IVIG therapy at our Westchester and Fairfield County offices to restore immune balance at the source.
Every IVIG patient at SeeBeyond Medicine receives a full immunological workup before treatment begins. We test first, then treat.

About This Service
What Is IVIG Therapy?
Clinical definition: Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a blood product made from concentrated antibodies pooled from thousands of healthy donors. It is infused directly into the bloodstream to replace missing immunoglobulins or to regulate overactive immune responses in autoimmune disease.
IVIG works through a dual mechanism. It supplies the antibodies your body cannot produce on its own. It also calms immune pathways that mistakenly attack healthy tissue.
SeeBeyond Medicine uses weight-based dosing protocols tailored to each patient. Infusions typically run two to six hours, with rates adjusted to your tolerance throughout the session.
Conditions Treated
Primary Immunodeficiency
Patients born with low or absent immunoglobulin production face recurring infections. SeeBeyond Medicine provides scheduled IVIG replacement every three to four weeks to maintain protective antibody levels.
Benefits
Dual Immune Action
Dual Immune Action
IVIG replaces missing antibodies and quiets overactive immune pathways at the same time. This two-pronged mechanism makes it effective for both deficiency and autoimmune conditions. SeeBeyond Medicine matches the mechanism to your specific diagnosis.
Root-Cause Immune Evaluation
Most infusion centers administer IVIG without investigating underlying immune triggers. SeeBeyond Medicine pairs IVIG with functional medicine testing to identify what is driving your immune dysfunction beyond the surface diagnosis.
Personalized Dosing and Monitoring
Every patient responds differently to IVIG. SeeBeyond Medicine tracks immunoglobulin trough levels, adjusts infusion rates in real time, and modifies dosing intervals based on your clinical response.
What to Expect
Your Journey
01.
1. Immunological Assessment
Your evaluation starts with targeted immune testing: immunoglobulin levels (IgG, IgA, IgM), vaccine response titers, and autoimmune markers. SeeBeyond Medicine uses these results to confirm clinical indication for IVIG.
02.
2. Prior Authorization and Product Selection
SeeBeyond Medicine handles insurance prior authorization from start to finish. Our team selects the appropriate IVIG product and calculates your weight-based dose before scheduling your first infusion.
03.
3. Physician-Supervised Infusion
Each session runs two to six hours at our Scarsdale or Greenwich office. SeeBeyond Medicine nurses monitor vital signs, watch for adverse reactions, and adjust infusion rates throughout. Pre-medications are given when appropriate.
04.
4. Ongoing Lab Monitoring
Follow-up labs track your trough levels and clinical markers between infusions. SeeBeyond Medicine adjusts your dosing schedule to keep antibody levels in the protective range consistently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
Does insurance cover IVIG therapy?
Most insurance plans cover IVIG for approved indications, including primary immunodeficiency and autoimmune neurological conditions. SeeBeyond Medicine manages prior authorization paperwork and handles appeals if an initial request is denied.
What side effects should I expect?
Headache, fatigue, and mild chills are the most common reactions during or after infusion. SeeBeyond Medicine minimizes these by starting at slow infusion rates and using pre-medications when needed.
How often will I need IVIG infusions?
Most patients receive IVIG every three to four weeks. SeeBeyond Medicine sets your schedule based on trough level testing and clinical response, adjusting frequency as your condition stabilizes.
Can IVIG be combined with other treatments?
Yes. SeeBeyond Medicine's integrative physicians often pair IVIG with nutritional immune support, peptide therapy, or functional testing. The goal is to address immune dysfunction from multiple directions, not just one.
How long does each IVIG session take?
Sessions typically last two to six hours depending on your dose and tolerance. SeeBeyond Medicine schedules your appointment with enough time for safe rate titration and post-infusion observation.
