How the estimates are built
The patient model uses one price table for the whole site: national self-pay medians for each protocol in a lounge and as a mobile concierge visit, drawn from published 2025–2026 menus in the markets we cover. Mobile prices run $50–$100 higher than the lounge for the same drip because the nurse’s drive time, a dedicated start kit and one-to-one monitoring are built in.
| Protocol | Volume | Lounge | Mobile | Infusion time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pure Hydration / Electrolyte Reset | 500–1,000 mL | $100–$145 | $165–$225 | 30–45 min |
| Classic Myers’ Cocktail | 500–1,000 mL | $165–$225 | $225–$295 | 45–60 min |
| Acute Recovery / Hangover & GI Relief | 1,000 mL | $195–$265 | $250–$350 | 45–60 min |
| High-Dose Immune Defense | 500–1,000 mL | $210–$290 | $275–$375 | 45–60 min |
| Athletic / Marathon Recovery | 1,000 mL | $215–$285 | $275–$365 | 45–60 min |
| Migraine & Acute Headache Protocol | 1,000 mL | $195–$260 | $250–$345 | 45–60 min |
| NAD+ Cellular & Neuro-Regenerative | 500–1,000 mL | $375–$850 | $450–$1,100 | 120–240 min |
| Prenatal Nausea & Hydration (NVP) | 1,000 mL | $175–$245 | $225–$325 | 45–75 min |
| Item | Price / rule | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Glutathione 1,000 mg IV push | +$45 | IV push or IM injection, 5–10 min |
| Rx Ondansetron (Zofran) 4–8 mg IV | +$35 | Prescription item: per-encounter order and GFE |
| Rx Ketorolac (Toradol) 15–30 mg IV | +$35 | Prescription item: per-encounter order and GFE |
| Biotin | +$30 | IV push or IM injection, 5–10 min |
| Methylcobalamin / hydroxocobalamin B12 IM | +$30 | IV push or IM injection, 5–10 min |
| Vitamin D3 50,000 IU IM | +$40 | IV push or IM injection, 5–10 min |
| 10% group tier (3–5) | 10% off per person | 1 RN in staggered starts |
| 15% group tier (6–9) | 15% off per person | Usually 2 RNs for a sub-90-minute event |
| 20% event tier (10+) | 20% off per person | Multi-RN team, often with a host upgrade |
The regional index runs from ×0.90 (Alabama, Oklahoma) to ×1.22 (New York) and reflects the spread between published menus in each state’s main metros. NAD+ is priced by dose because the infusion time, and therefore the nurse’s time, grows with it: 250 mg runs about two hours and 1,000 mg up to four.
How the practice model works
The provider model reads each state’s profile: corporate practice of medicine tier, NP practice authority, Good Faith Exam strictness, Board of Pharmacy enforcement tier, Nurse Licensure Compact status and typical medical director retainer. It then applies your licence and business model.
| Line | Benchmark | Driver |
|---|---|---|
| Medical director retainer | $800–$2,500/mo | State range + $300 for multi-nurse fleets, $150 for lounges, $200 above 200 infusions/month |
| Telehealth GFE | $28–$35 per exam | 40% of mobile and 30% of lounge infusions treated as new or Rx patients |
| Sterile vials & IV supplies | $28–$55 per drip | Bag, tubing, catheter, start kit, 503B/503A vials |
| Malpractice & GL | $150–$900/mo | Scaled by model and nurse count |
| RN labor | $40–$65/h | Fleet: 1.5 h per visit; lounge: 0.75 h per chair |
| Lease | $3,500–$7,500/mo | Lounge model only |
| Card processing | ≈3% of gross | All models |

Frequently asked questions
How is the patient estimate calculated?
The estimate starts from the protocol’s national lounge or mobile benchmark, adjusts for volume or NAD+ dose, adds each IV push or IM add-on, applies your state’s regional price index, then subtracts the group tier: 10% for 3–5 people, 15% for 6–9 and 20% for 10 or more.
Why does the calculator always show a Good Faith Exam?
Every IV infusion needs a prescriber order. A Good Faith Exam by an MD/DO, NP or PA, often by telehealth for $27–$35, is the step that produces it. Prescription add-ons like ondansetron or ketorolac need an order for that encounter.
How many nurses does a group event need?
The estimator assumes one RN can start and monitor about five standard drips in staggered waves, or three NAD+ infusions because they run 2–4 hours. Five to ten guests usually means two RNs to keep the event under about 90 minutes.
What does the provider mode tell a clinic owner?
It returns the entity structure your state’s corporate practice of medicine rules point to, a monthly cost stack (medical director, GFE, sterile supplies, malpractice, labor, lease and card fees) and the resulting net margin range, plus USP <797> and pharmacy alerts.
Can I share or print my configuration?
Yes. Every change rewrites the page link with your settings, so “Copy shareable link” captures the exact configuration, and “Print / save brief” produces a one-page clinical or compliance brief you can save as PDF.
Are these prices quotes?
No. They are 2025–2026 benchmark ranges for planning. The final price comes from the licensed provider after screening and depends on travel distance, timing and the exact formulation ordered.
