Insurance for IV Therapy Providers

IV therapy providers deliver essential hydration, vitamin infusions, medications, and wellness treatments directly into the bloodstream. While IV therapy offers rapid benefits for patients seeking recovery, performance enhancement, or chronic condition management, it also carries significant liability risks.

Because IV therapy involves invasive vascular access, potential for infection, medication errors, allergic reactions, infiltration, phlebitis, or extravasation, even minor complications can lead to serious patient harm and costly legal claims. Insurance for IV therapy must protect against these clinical exposures while also covering premises risks, staff actions, and regulatory compliance.

High-Risk Procedures and their Impact on your Premiums

Certain treatments and practices can significantly increase premiums or lead to exclusions if carriers determine the risks exceed standard underwriting appetite.

Procedure / Service	Description & Risks	Insurance Impact
Ketamine Infusions	Dissociative effects, potential for psychological distress, overdose, or dependency; off-label use in many states.	Significant surcharge (+100–200%) or declined unless under strict MD supervision and protocols.
High-Dose Vitamin C or NAD+	Risk of vein irritation, electrolyte imbalance, kidney strain, or anaphylaxis; limited evidence base.	30–80% premium increase; carriers require informed consent and monitoring documentation.
Peptide or Hormone Infusions	Allergic reactions, hormonal imbalance, or off-label use without FDA approval.	Frequently surcharged or excluded; requires physician oversight and compliance.
Mobile / Home-Based IV Services	Non-clinical settings increase infection risk, delayed emergency response, and equipment issues.	20–50% uplift; GL strongly recommended with portable equipment protocols.
Unlicensed or Under-Trained Staff	Improper insertion, infiltration, or adverse reactions due to lack of RN-level training.	Can void coverage or trigger declination; carriers require licensed personnel.
