How we built this
Jobs. We pull open jobs straight from the careers pages and applicant tracking systems of infusion companies, home infusion providers and health systems. Hospitals are filtered to infusion titles only. This is not every infusion job in the country: many independent centers don't post anywhere public.
Pay. Only what employers post. For a range we use the midpoint, and we report the median. Per-visit pay and leadership titles are left out, and any figure built on fewer than 5 posts is hidden. Yearly figures assume 2,080 hours.
Centers. Organizations in the CMS NPI Registry with the ambulatory infusion therapy clinic taxonomy (261QI0500X), minus IV-hydration and wellness spas that share the code. Registration year is when the NPI was issued, which for a new center is usually close to opening.
Q4 2026 edition, data as of November 9, 2026. A new edition comes out each quarter. Analysis by Greyfield Data. Every figure is also available as JSON, and the Q4 2026 edition is frozen as a PDF. Use any chart with a link to this page. Questions or a correction? Email linus@greyfielddata.com.
