Singing River offers custom IV infusions to established patients and accepts referrals from other medical professionals with appropriate documentation and recent blood tests such as a CBC, CMP and G6PD (if you are receiving IV vitamin C)
Because custom nutrient intravenous infusions are not recognized as standard of care by the governing medical establishment, they are not covered by insurance. However, if you are also having an office visit along with the IV, insurance may cover that portion of the visit.
The cost of an IV depends on the ingredients. They typically run between $125 up to $450. Some simple IV pushes cost as little as $75.
A typical infusion will last between 45 minutes to 3 hours depending on the amount of fluid, the substance being infused and a person’s tolerance to the IV itself. An IV push may take as little as 10 minutes.
Each IV is made individually with custom ingredients designed to support a person’s specific nutritional and medical needs.
