Whether or not your health insurance covers IV therapy depends on several factors:
- Reason for Treatment: Insurance is more likely to cover IV therapy when prescribed by your doctor as medically necessary for treating a specific condition (severe dehydration, malnutrition, pre/post-surgery, etc.).
- Type of Insurance Plan: Individual plan coverage varies. Some plans might have limited coverage for outpatient IV therapy.
- In-Network Providers: Using an in-network medical spa or IV clinic increases the likelihood of your insurance covering some of the costs.
How to Find Out:
- Contact Your Insurer: Call your insurance provider directly and inquire about your plan’s specific coverage for IV hydration therapy.
- Doctor’s Prescription: Get a detailed prescription from your doctor outlining the medical necessity for IV therapy.
IV Therapy for Wellness Purposes: Insurance plans generally don’t cover IV therapy used for general wellness, hangovers, or athletic performance enhancement.
