When it comes to peri-operative IVs, there is nothing standardized and there is little research specifically on peri-op IVs. Therefore, recommending a fully evidenced-based pre- and post-op protocol is impossible. However, we recommend creating IVs that focus on reducing the oxidative stress of surgery and boosting healing.

Our licensing and regulations section covers Federal rules regarding USP 797 and its relevance to IV Therapy Practices. While most states adopt USP 797 rules, some may have additional or slightly different regulations. Since we are not attorneys or experts in every state's IV regulations, we can't provide a detailed breakdown for each state. We recommend consulting your state's Board of Pharmacy or an attorney familiar with your state's IV regulations.

Yes, as an RN you can likely own an IV Therapy Practice, however, you will need a provider to complete the patient H&P and order the indicated infusion protocol. Providers are MDs, DOs, Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), and Physician assistants (PAs). Some states allow NPs and CRNAs to have full practice authority, meaning physician involvement is not required. You will need to check your state’s Nurse Practice Act to determine the level of physician involvement that is required. If the Nurse Practice Act is vague or unclear we recommend consulting with a healthcare attorney familiar with your state’s scope of practice regulations. In all circumstances, a patient should be evaluated by a provider licensed in your state, and that provider should establish a proper patient-provider relationship. Once established, the provider must formulate and prescribe the appropriate treatment plan or protocol. Under no circumstance should a patient be treated with a standing order without first being evaluated by a licensed independent provider. This is a general guideline for best practice. You must consult with an attorney in your state for specific guidance related to your license type, scope of practice, and state regulations.

As a licensed provider, you can typically own an IV Therapy Practice. Providers are defined as MDs, DOs, Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), and Physician assistants (PAs). Some states only allow clinics to be owned by licensed physicians. Patient care should always be provided under the supervision of a physician, independent nurse practitioner, or independent nurse anesthetist. All patients should have a proper patient-provider relationship established and only licensed healthcare professionals should ever treat, prescribe, or otherwise provide care for a patient. Licensed healthcare professionals must always adhere to their state's scope of practice guidelines for their license type. Always consult an attorney in your state for specific rules and regulations pertaining to your state and your license type.

Yes, an LPN can take the course. However, in some states, an LPN cannot own a medical or IV clinic, and may not be allowed to administer IV infusions or start IVs. Some states require an additional IV certification for LPNs to administer IVs. Check your state's Nurse Practice Act for specific information. As an LPN, you may be able to own an IV Therapy Practice, but you might need an IV-trained RN or provider to administer infusions. You'll also need a provider to complete the H&P and order the infusion protocol. Providers include MDs, DOs, NPs, CRNAs, and PAs. The required provider varies by state. Some states allow NPs and CRNAs full practice authority without physician involvement. Check your state's Nurse Practice Act for details. If it's unclear, consult a healthcare attorney familiar with your state's regulations. Patients must be evaluated by a licensed provider in your state, who will establish a proper patient-provider relationship and prescribe a treatment plan. Patients should not be treated with standing orders without prior evaluation by a licensed provider. Consult an attorney for specific guidance related to your license type and state regulations.

Providers are MDs, DOs, Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) and Physician assistants (PAs). The provider required to supervise you and your practice will vary state by state. You will need to check your state’s practice act to determine the level of physician involvement that is required. If the practice act is vague or unclear we recommend consulting with a healthcare attorney familiar with your state’s scope of practice regulations.

We recommend that you or the paramedic check with their board and make sure they can infuse the pharmaceuticals with appropriate provider orders. In all circumstances, a patient should be evaluated by a provider licensed in your state, and that provider should establish a proper patient-provider relationship. Once established the provider must formulate and prescribe the appropriate treatment plan or protocol.

No, you do not need to be a medical professional to take the program, but to be able to understand the information provided in the program you will need to have some medical knowledge. Nearly all our clients are from the medical or nursing fields and have extensive clinical experience. Our training programs are foundational courses designed for the entry-level IV Nutrition and Micronutrient practitioner. We have clients that are providers such as MDs, DOs, Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), and Physician assistants (PAs) who have completed our programs. We also have Registered Nurses, LPNs, Paramedics, EMTs and many others. It is critical to understand your scope of practice in your state. In all circumstances, a patient should be evaluated by a provider licensed in your state, and that provider should establish a proper patient-provider relationship. Once established the provider must formulate and prescribe the appropriate treatment plan or protocol.

Currently, we don't have a specific module on starting a mobile IV Business/In-Home IV Business but the steps are nearly the same as starting a brick-and-mortar practice, you can actually skip a few steps (like leasing a space, etc.) The course will teach you how to plan, maintain and grow your IV Therapy practice, as well as the regulations and guidelines to be compliant in your practice.

We are clinicians and educators, not attorneys, so we provide general education on rules and regulations. For specific legal advice, consult a licensed attorney in your state. State regulations for IV therapy practice can vary. Some states allow NPs and CRNAs full practice authority, while others require physician collaboration or supervision. We help you learn and sort out all the basic requirements. If state regulations are unclear, consult a healthcare attorney familiar with your state's laws. Regardless of state regulations, patients must be evaluated by a licensed healthcare provider, who must establish a proper patient-provider relationship, including a medical history review, physical examination, and informed consent. Providers must create and prescribe a suitable treatment plan based on the patient's needs. Treatment should only commence after this comprehensive evaluation.

Patients should never receive treatment based on 'standing orders' or 'treatment protocols' without prior evaluation by a licensed independent provider. Standing orders/ protocols must adhere to state laws and be administered under licensed provider supervision.
