Why Choose Pure IV 

Table of Contents

There are a lot of IV therapy companies. A quick search will turn up dozens in any major market. Most of them will tell you they use licensed nurses, offer mobile service, and have medical oversight. And most of them are telling you the truth, sort of. 

The details are where the differences live. Who owns the company? Who wrote the medical protocols? Who is actually reviewing your health before the IV starts? Who is the Nurse Practitioner, and do they work for the company or for a third-party compliance platform? Is the medical screening free or does it cost $30? Does the provider stay with you the whole time or leave to start another patient? 

These are not trick questions. They are the questions that determine whether your IV therapy experience is medically sound or medically convenient. And they are the questions that separate Pure IV from every other company in the industry. 

We Are Physician-Owned. Not Physician-Affiliated. 

This is the single most important thing to understand about Pure IV, and it is the thing most consumers never think to ask about. 

Pure IV is owned and operated by physicians. The doctors who own this company built the medical protocols, hired the Nurse Practitioners, established the treatment formulas, and created the safety standards that govern every appointment. They did not hire a marketing team and then bolt on medical oversight as an afterthought. The medicine came first. The business was built around it. 

This matters because the majority of mobile IV therapy companies in the United States operate under a very different model. They are nurse-owned or entrepreneur-owned businesses that contract with a third-party compliance platform for their medical oversight. That platform assigns them a medical director, usually a physician who has never set foot in the business, who signs standing orders and performs periodic chart reviews. The medical director may oversee dozens or even hundreds of clinics simultaneously through the same platform. 

These companies will tell you they have physician oversight. And technically, they do. But there is a world of difference between a physician who owns and operates the company you are trusting with your health, and a physician who was matched with the company through a subscription service. 

At Pure IV, the physicians who own the company are the ones making the medical decisions. They are not renting oversight. They built it. 

A Nurse Practitioner Talks to You Before Every Treatment. For Free. 

Before any IV is placed, a licensed Nurse Practitioner conducts a live televisit with you by phone. The NP reviews your health intake, asks follow-up questions about your medical history and medications, discusses your treatment, and approves a patient-specific clinical order tailored to your body and your current health. 

This happens at every appointment. Not just the first visit. Not once a year. Every single time. 

And it does not cost you a dime. The Good Faith Exam at Pure IV is completely free. It is built into every appointment because a medical screening is a standard of care, not a revenue stream. 

At many other IV therapy companies, this process either does not exist or costs extra. Some companies charge $20 to $30 per Good Faith Exam as a separate line item. Some make that fee non-refundable, even if you are denied treatment. Others perform the exam only once a year or at the first visit, then use that single clearance for every subsequent appointment. And some companies skip the medical screening entirely, operating on standing orders where no provider ever reviews your individual health. 

At Pure IV, a Nurse Practitioner speaks with you. Live. Before every treatment. At no additional charge. That is the standard. 

Licensed RNs and Paramedics Only. No Exceptions. 

Every Pure IV provider is a licensed Registered Nurse or licensed paramedic. These are medical professionals with active state licensure, clinical training, and experience placing IVs in a variety of settings including hospitals, emergency departments, and ambulances. 

This is not universal in the IV therapy industry. Some companies hire IV technicians, medical assistants, or staff with limited training who may have completed a short IV certification course but do not hold RN or paramedic licensure. The legal requirements for who can administer IV therapy vary by state, but Pure IV holds itself to the highest standard regardless of what each state's minimum requirement allows. 

Your provider is not just qualified to start an IV. They are trained to recognize and respond to complications, assess your condition throughout the infusion, and make clinical decisions in real time. They stay with you for the entire treatment. They do not start your IV and leave to begin another appointment. 

Transparent Pricing. No Hidden Fees. No Surprises. 

The price you see is the price you pay. Pure IV does not add travel fees, service fees, Good Faith Exam fees, after-hours surcharges, or any other hidden charges to your bill. 

This is not how every company operates. Some providers advertise a low base price and then add fees at checkout or at the appointment. Common hidden charges in the mobile IV therapy industry include separate Good Faith Exam fees of $20 to $30, travel fees based on distance or location, holiday or weekend surcharges, a medical review fee for the NP or physician oversight, and gratuity suggestions built into the checkout process. 

At Pure IV, the listed price includes everything. Your treatment, your Good Faith Exam, your NP televisit, your provider's time, your travel, and your full bedside monitoring from start to finish. One price. No surprises. 

We Treat Patients of All Ages. Toddlers to Seniors.

Most mobile IV therapy companies set a minimum age requirement of 12 or 14 years old. Some require patients to weigh at least 100 pounds. These blanket restrictions exist because those companies do not have the medical infrastructure to safely dose and treat younger children. 

Pure IV treats patients of all ages. Our medical direction allows children of any age to receive IV therapy after an individual assessment. The child must be medically appropriate for treatment, and they must be willing to cooperate. We do not restrain children. But if a dehydrated toddler needs IV fluids and can sit calmly enough for the placement, we can help when most other companies cannot. 

On the other end of the spectrum, Pure IV has specific protocols for senior patients. Our NP screens for heart conditions, kidney function, medication interactions, and other age-related considerations before approving treatment for older adults. We adjust fluid volumes and drip rates as needed. There is no maximum age and no maximum weight. 

From the youngest patients to the oldest, from the smallest to the largest, every person receives an individualized assessment and a treatment tailored to their body. Because that is what physician-owned medicine looks like. 

10 Markets Across 8 States. One Standard of Care. 

Pure IV currently serves patients in Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Tennessee, New Mexico, Texas, Idaho, and Montana. Across all of these markets, the same medical protocols apply. The same NP televisit happens. The same Good Faith Exam is conducted. The same standard of licensed providers, transparent pricing, and physician-owned oversight is maintained. 

Expanding into new markets is easy when you are willing to cut corners. It is harder when you insist on maintaining the same level of medical oversight in every new state. Each state has different regulations for IV therapy, different scope-of-practice rules for nurses and NPs, and different requirements for physician supervision. Pure IV navigates all of this because it was built by physicians who understand the regulatory landscape, not by marketers who discovered that IV therapy is a trending wellness service. 

When you book a Pure IV appointment in Arizona, you receive the same level of care as a patient in Tennessee, Utah, or Colorado. The brand name is not the standard. The medicine is. 

How Pure IV Compares 

Questions to Ask Any IV Therapy Provider Before You Book 

If you are comparing IV therapy companies, here are the questions that will tell you everything you need to know about the level of care you will receive. 

• Who owns your company? Is it physician-owned, or do you contract with a third-party medical director? A physician-owned company has medical leadership embedded in its DNA. A contracted medical director is an outsourced service. 
  
• Will I speak with a Nurse Practitioner or physician before my treatment? If the answer is no, your treatment is being approved by a standing order or an automated system, not a live clinical assessment of your health. 
  
• Is the Good Faith Exam included in the price, or is it a separate charge? If a company charges you extra for a medical screening, ask yourself what other basic safety steps they are treating as optional revenue. 
  
• How often is the medical screening performed? Every visit, or just once a year? Your health can change between visits. A single annual exam does not reflect your status at the time of each treatment. 
  
• Will the provider stay with me for the entire infusion? An unmonitored IV is an unsafe IV. Your provider should be present from start to finish. 
  
• What are your providers' credentials? RN? Paramedic? IV tech? Know who is putting a needle in your arm and whether they hold active state licensure as a medical professional. 
  
• Are there any fees not included in the listed price? Travel fees, service fees, GFE fees, after-hours surcharges, and gratuity prompts are all common ways the final price ends up higher than advertised. 
  
• What happens if you determine that IV therapy is not safe for me? Do I still get charged? At Pure IV, if we do not treat you, you do not pay. Not every company can say that. 

The Pure IV Standard 

We did not build Pure IV to be another mobile IV company. We built it to be the standard that every other company should be measured against.
