Most mobile IV therapy businesses hire registered nurses (RNs) as 1099 contractors. They pay $30 to $75 per visit. Each nurse must carry their own malpractice insurance.
You need at least four types of insurance: malpractice, general liability, commercial auto, and a business owner's policy. Together, they protect you from the most common claims in mobile IV therapy.

Most mobile IV therapy businesses should charge $150 to $250 per session, but the right price depends on your market, your costs, and how you build your menu.
Most IV therapy businesses need a medical director. You can find one through a telehealth platform, a local doctor, or a medspa attorney referral. Expect to pay $500 to $2,000 per month.
Every state treats IV therapy as the practice of medicine. You must follow your state's rules. Know who can own the business. Know who provides oversight. Know what your nurses can do.
Whether a nurse can own an IV therapy business depends on your state and your license type. Most RNs can own the business. But they still need a medical director to watch over the clinical side in almost every state.
A solo mobile IV business can launch for $10,000 to $30,000. A multi-nurse operation runs $30,000 to $100,000. A franchise costs $80,000 to $250,000.
You need a business plan before you spend a dollar. It forces you to think through costs, pricing, legal setup, and how you'll get clients before any of that becomes a real problem.
