For Rheumatology if a provider starts and infusion does he need to be present the whole time of the infusion? Or can a NP step in? I've been looking for guide lines but cant seem to find any.

In our practice, there is a NP doing all of the infusions for rheumatology. She also does all the hydration and a lot of the Prolia type injections.
