Mobile IV businesses bring hydration and vitamin infusions to homes, hotels, gyms and events. Every client needs an assessment and an order from a licensed prescriber, so the business model depends on a medical director, standing protocols and good-faith exam rules that vary by state. Nurses handle assessment, IV starts, monitoring and documentation.
Profit comes from repeat clients, memberships and event bookings. The details that protect you are compounding and sourcing rules for IV fluids and additives, emergency supplies, sharps disposal, and insurance that covers mobile care. Some nurses start as contract infusion nurses for an existing company before launching their own.
Research your state's rules on IV hydration, prescriber oversight and good-faith exams.
Work contract shifts for an established IV company to learn intake, supplies and pricing.
Secure a medical director, insurance and suppliers before taking your first private client.
