Mobile IV therapy brings a licensed nurse and a full infusion setup to your home, hotel room, or office. It is the same clinical protocol we run in South Boston, delivered where you already are. Here is exactly how a visit unfolds.
Step 1 — Booking
You pick a drip, a time window, and an address. Our booking flow takes about sixty seconds and asks for the service address up front, because it determines nurse routing. You will get a confirmation with a calendar invite, plus reschedule and cancel links you can use yourself.
Step 2 — Pre-visit screening
Before the nurse leaves, we review your intake: medications, allergies, kidney and cardiac history, pregnancy status, and prior reactions. High-dose vitamin C requires a G6PD result. Screening is what keeps mobile care as safe as clinic care — it is not a formality.
Step 3 — What the nurse brings
- Sealed IV fluids (normal saline or lactated Ringer's) and your prescribed additives
- Sterile start kit, catheters, tubing, tourniquet, chlorhexidine prep
- A collapsible pole or a hook solution for hotel rooms
- Vital-sign equipment and a sharps container
- Emergency medications and a documented reaction protocol
Step 4 — Setup
The nurse needs a chair or sofa, a spot to hang the bag, and a few feet of clear floor. Vitals are taken, the site is prepped, the line is started, and the drip runs. Most bags run 30–45 minutes; NAD+ runs considerably longer because the rate has to stay slow — see what to expect at a first NAD+ infusion.
Step 5 — During and after
The nurse stays with you the entire time. Afterward the site is dressed, everything is packed out including sharps, and you get aftercare instructions. Most people go straight back to their day.
Safety standards to ask about
Any mobile provider should be able to answer these without hesitating: who is the medical director, are the nurses employed or gig-contracted, where are the fluids sourced, what is the anaphylaxis protocol, and what happens if a stick fails. Ours are answered on our about page.
Service area
We cover Boston proper — Back Bay, Beacon Hill, South End, North End, Seaport, South Boston — plus Cambridge, Brookline, and surrounding neighborhoods. Details and current coverage are on our mobile IV therapy Boston page.
Mobile vs in-clinic pricing
Drip prices are the same; mobile adds a travel fee that covers the nurse's round trip and setup. For two or more people at one address, the fee is shared, which is why mobile often costs less per person than driving to us. Group bookings — bachelorette parties, corporate offices, race weekends — run through our group events page.
Frequently asked questions
How fast can a nurse get to me?
Same-day slots are common outside peak weekend hours. Live availability shows in the booking flow.
Will a hotel allow IV therapy in the room?
Nearly always, yes — it is a private medical visit. The nurse comes up as your guest and nothing needs to be mounted or attached to the room.
Is mobile IV therapy safe?
With licensed nurses, medical-director oversight, and proper screening, yes. Read what side effects are normal before your first visit.
Can we book for a group?
Yes, up to eight guests at one address, each choosing their own drip.
