With my bluebird support, you and your patients will have
a dedicated Patient Navigator to help:

 navigate

Guiding your patient through the steps to treatment
and connecting them with helpful people along the way.

There’s a lot that goes into the bluebird bio gene therapy treatment process. A Patient Navigator is here to help as you and your patient explore if gene therapy is an option. We will collaborate with you and your patient, answering questions along the way.

While my bluebird support can provide an overview of what the treatment process may look like, each patient will work with their care team at a Qualified Treatment Center (QTC) —a specialized hospital trained to administer bluebird bio gene therapies—to establish their own treatment journey.

There are 3 main phases in this process:

1

consultation

2

apheresis
(cell collection)
Arrow

3

treatment
If your patient is not already associated with a QTC, we can help them to schedule a consultation with one that accepts their insurance and is accepting new patients. Apheresis and treatment will be coordinated by the QTC, and we can provide you with logistical updates along the way.
