Rhogam Shot
How to go about getting your Rhogam shot.
You've been told you need Rhogam. What does this mean? Rhogam is a shot that mothers need due to an RH (blood type) incompatibility between mother and father of an unborn baby. Example: Mother is type A-; Father is type A+. Due to insurance purposes, we no longer do these in the office.
You need to go to the Diagnostic Center at Fair Oaks Hospital, which is located in the building next door to the hospital on the fourth floor. Their address is 3700 Joseph Siewick Drive. Before going please check with your insurance to make sure Rhogam is covered. The number to the Fair Oaks Diagnostic Center is (703) 391-3610. You need to bring with you the order that was given to you by the doctor and your insurance card. You do not need to make an appointment for this, but you need to make sure you go early in the day. They will draw your blood first and ask you to come back in approximately two hours to get your shot.
If you have any problem or questions feel free to give the office a call.
