IV therapy is the fastest way to rehydrate the body and replenish fluids when they are lost. Insurances will cover the cost of IV therapy when in the operating room, the emergency department, or the hospital. They frequently will not cover the cost when the IV is administered in the home, and when they do, it is often after months of back and forth. The cost of submitting claims to insurance would require our company to hire multiple additional people to handle the insurance claims, without any assurance they would indeed be covered services. Since our company functions as an on-demand provider of in-home and clinic based IV therapy, it is faster, cheaper, and more convenient to avoid using insurance altogether.

In-home IV therapy certainly accomplishes this task.
