Product Choices

It is understood that physicians and patients often have specific product preferences. The products offered through the New York Blood Center have the flexibility to meet a wide range of demands related to specific disease states.

New York Blood Center provides a comprehensive product line that can satisfy all the needs of patients with bleeding disorders in terms of preferred manufacturer, level of purity, type of manufacturing process, and price. With these variables in mind, all products undergo careful evaluation.

The Hemophilia Services offered by New York Blood Center are available only through membership in the Hemophilia Services Consortium, Inc., a not-for-profit cooperative hospital services organization.   Because the Consortium does not operate for profit and because administration fees are the lowest in the country, the cost to the patient and insurers is lower.  A patient's potential lifetime cap, representing access to quality care, maybe extended over a longer period of time.
