General

The basics about
mobile IV therapy.

What is mobile IV therapy?

+

Mobile IV therapy is the same clinical service as an IV drip in a lounge or clinic, delivered to wherever you are. A licensed RN brings all supplies to your location, places an IV catheter, and administers vitamins, minerals, and fluids directly into your bloodstream. The whole visit takes about 45 minutes.

Is IV therapy the same as what you'd get in a hospital?

+

The technique and equipment are the same. What's different is the purpose. Hospital IVs are for treatment of illness or injury. Wellness IV therapy is for hydration, vitamin replenishment, and general wellbeing in otherwise healthy people. The supplies are clinical grade and the nurse is licensed the same way a hospital nurse is.

Will I actually feel a difference?

+

Most people do, though it varies by drip and baseline. Hydration drips produce the most noticeable effect. If you were dehydrated, altitude-stressed, or post-race, most clients feel better within an hour. The Myers' Cocktail effect is typically felt the next morning. NAD+ clients tend to report the clearest results the day after infusion. Some of this is placebo. We'll be honest about that. But the hydration effect is real science, and 100% bioavailability versus 20-50% from oral supplements is a genuine difference.

Is this covered by insurance?

+

Wellness IV therapy is generally not covered by health insurance. HSA and FSA cards may be eligible depending on your plan. Check with your benefits administrator. We don't accept insurance directly and all bookings are paid out of pocket at the time of service.

How is Drip+ different from a lounge like Prime IV?

+

We come to you. That's the core difference. No drive, no parking, no waiting room, no scheduling around their hours. You book a window, your nurse arrives, and you don't have to leave your house. We're also founder-operated and Utah-local. No franchise, no corporate chain, no protocol you can't ask us about directly.

Safety

Who it's right for.
Who it isn't.

Who shouldn't get IV therapy?

+

IV therapy isn't appropriate for everyone. People with kidney disease or impaired kidney function should not receive IV fluids without physician clearance, as the kidneys regulate fluid balance. People with congestive heart failure are at risk of fluid overload. People with certain blood clotting disorders may not be good candidates. Anyone with a known allergy to any ingredient in their selected drip should not receive it. Pregnant women should consult their OB before booking. Some drips are fine during pregnancy, others are not. Our good-faith intake process is designed to catch these situations before your nurse arrives.

What are the possible side effects?

+

The most common side effects are minor: bruising or soreness at the IV site, a cool sensation in the arm during infusion, or a mild metallic taste with some vitamin formulas. Magnesium can cause a warm, flushing sensation that some people find intense. High-dose vitamin C can cause nausea if administered too quickly. NAD+ causes flushing, chest tightness, and nausea if run too fast, which is why we administer it slowly. Serious adverse reactions are rare but possible with any IV therapy. Your RN is trained to recognize and respond to them immediately.

What if something goes wrong during my drip?

+

Your RN carries emergency supplies and is trained to respond to adverse reactions. They will stop the drip immediately if you experience anything concerning and assess the situation. In the event of a serious reaction requiring emergency care, they will call 911 and stay with you until help arrives. Every session is documented so any responding medical team has a complete clinical record. Drip+ is not a substitute for emergency medical care. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911.

How often is it safe to get a drip?

+

For most healthy adults, once per week is the upper limit for standard vitamin drips. Most of our members do one to two per month, which is where the evidence shows the most consistent benefit without risk of over-supplementation. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) can accumulate in the body. Our formulas use water-soluble vitamins that are excreted rather than stored. NAD+ is typically done as an initial series, then monthly for maintenance. If you have questions about frequency for your specific situation, ask your RN at your visit.

Needles & technique

Sterile. Single-use.
Clinical grade.

How does the IV placement work?

+

Your RN cleans the insertion site with an alcohol swab and allows it to dry. A small catheter, a thin, flexible plastic tube. is inserted into a vein in your forearm or the back of your hand using a needle. Once the catheter is in place, the needle is removed and only the soft plastic tube remains in the vein. The drip line connects to the catheter and the infusion begins. You won't feel the catheter after placement.

Are the supplies sterile and single-use?

+

Yes. Every needle, catheter, IV bag, and piece of tubing is sterile, single-use, and disposed of after your visit. Nothing is reused. All supplies are sourced from licensed medical distributors (McKesson and Henry Schein) and stored in temperature-controlled conditions. Compounded vitamin formulas come from licensed compounding pharmacies under pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing standards.

What happens to sharps and medical waste after my visit?

+

Your RN carries a certified sharps container and takes all needles, catheters, and medical waste with them when they leave. You won't have anything to dispose of. Sharps are disposed of through a licensed medical waste service. You'll be left with nothing except a small bandage on your arm.

What if the nurse can't find a vein?

+

Difficult venous access is more common than most people realize. Your RN is trained in multiple approaches and will try different sites if needed. Staying well hydrated before your appointment significantly improves vein visibility. If your RN is unable to successfully place an IV after reasonable attempts, you won't be charged for the visit and we'll reschedule. Some clients with very difficult access opt for IM (intramuscular) injections instead, which don't require venous access at all.

Does it hurt?

+

The insertion is a quick pinch, most people compare it to a standard blood draw. Once the catheter is in you won't feel it. Some formulas cause sensations during infusion: magnesium produces warmth, high-dose vitamin C can cause a cooling sensation, and NAD+ causes flushing if run too fast. None of these are painful, but if anything feels wrong, tell your RN immediately and they'll adjust the drip rate or stop if needed.

Booking & visits

Before, during,
and after your visit.

Do I need to do anything to prepare?

+

Drink water before your appointment. Well-hydrated veins are easier to access and the drip will feel more comfortable. Eat something beforehand. Getting an IV on an empty stomach can cause lightheadedness in some people. Have a clear area where you can sit or lie comfortably for 45 minutes. That's it. Your nurse handles everything else.

What is the intake form?

+

It's a short health questionnaire we email you after you book your first visit. It covers your medications, allergies, medical history, a few safety screening questions, and your consent. Our nurse practitioner reviews it before your visit to make sure IV therapy is safe and appropriate for you specifically. It takes about two minutes on your phone, and your answers are kept private and shared only with your care team.

Do I have to fill out the intake form before every visit?

+

No. You complete it once, before your first visit. For return visits you just confirm nothing has changed since last time. If your health, medications, or conditions do change, let your nurse know so we can update your file.

What areas do you serve?

+

We currently serve Provo, Orem, Lehi, American Fork, Pleasant Grove, Salt Lake City, Sandy, Draper, and Park City. If you're not sure whether we cover your area, reach out before booking and we'll let you know. Service area may expand as we grow.

Can I book for a hotel room or Airbnb?

+

Yes. Your nurse can come to any location in our service area including hotels, vacation rentals, office buildings, and event venues. Just include the full address and any access instructions (gate code, room number, etc.) in your booking notes.

What is your cancellation policy?

+

Cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled arrival window and there's no charge. Cancellations within 24 hours of the arrival window are subject to a $50 late cancellation fee. We hold this policy because our nurses drive to your location. A late cancellation affects their schedule and income directly.

Can I add boosters on the day of my visit?

+

Yes. Your nurse brings a full supply kit and can add any booster that's appropriate for your drip and health intake on the day of your visit. Just let them know when they arrive. Boosters are charged at the standard menu price.

Important

IV therapy isn't right
for everyone.

Our good-faith intake process catches most contraindications before your nurse arrives. But here's a plain-language list of conditions that may make IV therapy inappropriate or require physician clearance first. When in doubt, consult your doctor before booking.

Kidney disease or impaired kidney function. The kidneys regulate fluid balance. IV fluids can cause dangerous fluid overload.
Congestive heart failure. The heart may be unable to handle additional IV fluid volume.
Known allergy to any drip ingredient. Review the full ingredient list before booking.
Pregnancy. Some drips are safe, others are not. Consult your OB before your first visit.
Active infection or fever. IV therapy is not a treatment for infection. Seek medical care first.
G6PD deficiency. High-dose vitamin C is contraindicated with this genetic condition.
Privacy

HIPAA compliance.
What it actually means.

HIPAA is the federal law governing the privacy and security of health information. Being HIPAA compliant means we meet specific requirements for how we collect, store, transmit, and protect your data. Here's what that looks like in practice for Drip+.

Encrypted storage

All health records are stored in an encrypted, access-controlled clinical system. Your data is never stored in plaintext or in general-purpose databases.

Business Associate Agreement

Our clinical platform has signed a BAA with us, as required under HIPAA for any vendor that handles protected health information on our behalf.

Minimum necessary access

Only the care team members who need your information to provide care can access it. Administrative staff don't have access to clinical records.

No data selling

We don't sell, rent, or share your health information with third parties for marketing or any other purpose. Ever.
