Frequently asked questions
How much does IV therapy cost?
IV therapy on OpenDoc ranges from $99 for basic hydration to $1,000 for high-dose NAD+ infusions. The most popular option — a Myers' Cocktail (multivitamin drip) — typically costs $150–$275. All pricing is listed upfront with no hidden fees for supplies, nurse time, or facility charges.
Is IV therapy covered by insurance?
IV therapy for wellness purposes is not covered by insurance. This makes it inherently a cash-pay service, which is why transparent pricing matters. Some medically necessary infusions (like iron infusions for anemia) may be covered, but wellness vitamin drips, NAD+, and hydration therapy are out-of-pocket expenses.
How long does an IV drip take?
Basic hydration and vitamin drips take 30–45 minutes. More complex infusions like high-dose vitamin C take 45–60 minutes. NAD+ infusions are the longest, typically requiring 2–5 hours depending on the dose, because they must be infused slowly to minimize discomfort.
Is IV therapy safe?
When administered by licensed medical professionals in a clinical setting, IV therapy is generally safe. Risks include bruising at the injection site, vein irritation, and rare allergic reactions. On OpenDoc, all IV therapy providers are verified licensed medical practices with appropriate medical oversight and emergency protocols.
What is NAD+ therapy and what does it do?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme essential for cellular energy production and DNA repair. NAD+ levels decline with age. IV NAD+ therapy delivers the molecule directly into the bloodstream, bypassing digestive absorption. It's used for anti-aging, cognitive enhancement, addiction recovery support, and chronic fatigue, though research is still emerging.
How often should I get IV therapy?
Frequency depends on your goals. Most patients get hydration or vitamin drips on an as-needed basis — before travel, after illness, or during intense training. Wellness protocols typically recommend every 1–4 weeks. NAD+ protocols often involve an initial loading phase of 3–4 sessions, then monthly maintenance.
What is in a Myers' Cocktail?
A standard Myers' Cocktail contains magnesium, calcium, B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6), vitamin B12, and vitamin C in a saline base. It was developed by Dr. John Myers in the 1970s and is the most widely studied IV vitamin formulation. Variations exist — some providers add zinc, glutathione, or amino acids.
Can I add glutathione to any IV drip?
Yes, a glutathione push is typically offered as an add-on to any IV infusion for $50–$150. It's administered as a slow IV push at the end of your drip. Glutathione is the body's master antioxidant and is popular for skin brightening, detoxification support, and immune function.
