Being used

You might hear about immunoglobulin being used in some people with other immune (autoimmune) problems.

I am really sorry to ask again about "being" but is "being used" a present progressive passive in "being used in some people.."?

You might hear about immunoglobulin being used in some people with other immune (autoimmune) problems . Not quite: "being used ... " is indeed a passive verb phrase.
