Straight to it: at Refine Redding, our core IV formulas are $199. NAD+ is its own category at $500, because it's a much longer, slower infusion. Nationally, wellness IVs commonly land somewhere between about $150 and $400, with NAD+ often higher. Below is exactly what you get for the money, why prices swing so much from one provider to the next, and the situations where we'd tell you to keep your money.

Why IV prices vary so much
When you see one place at $149 and another at $350, the gap usually comes from five things.
What’s in the bag. Saline with a splash of B vitamins costs far less to make than a formula with high-dose vitamin C, glutathione, or a prescription medication like Zofran or Toradol. Two IVs with the same name can have very different ingredient lists, so compare the ingredients and the doses, not the label.
Who places the IV. An IV is a medical procedure. A licensed clinician who screens you, places the line well, and knows what to do if something goes sideways costs more than the alternative. That's the corner you don't want cut.
Time in the chair. Most formulas run 30 to 45 minutes. NAD+ has to go in slowly to stay comfortable, which is why it books an hour or two and costs more.
Setting. A mobile visit adds drive time and setup for the nurse. Some providers build that into the price; others add a separate fee. Either way, ask for the all-in number.
Add-ons. Extra boosts, a second bag, or a vitamin shot on the side can turn a $199 visit into a $275 one. That's fine if you chose it. It's not fine if it was suggested while you were already hooked up.
Does insurance cover IV therapy?
For wellness IVs, almost never. Insurance pays for IV fluids when they're part of treating a diagnosed medical problem in a medical setting, not for a hangover drip or an immune boost before a trip. We don't bill insurance.
HSA and FSA accounts are a maybe: some plans allow it when a treatment is prescribed for a diagnosed condition. Check with your plan before you assume either way.
Is mobile IV therapy more expensive?
Usually, yes, and it should be. Someone is driving to you, setting up, and staying with you the whole time. Most of our IV visits happen in a private room at our Studio at 1324 Court St in Redding. If leaving the house is the real obstacle, call or text and ask about a visit at your place; we'll tell you what that adds before you book, not after.
If you can get to us easily, the Studio is the better deal. Save mobile for the days when getting out of the house is the hard part.
Memberships and packages: what to check
Plenty of IV providers sell monthly memberships. Some are a good deal if you'd come in that often anyway. Before you sign up anywhere, ask three things: do unused credits roll over, what does cancelling look like, and are the “member prices” lower than the regular menu or just the regular menu with a monthly fee on top. We don't require a membership to book or to see real prices.
How often do people get IVs, and what does that add up to?
There's no single right schedule, and anyone who tells you that you need a weekly drip forever is selling something. For the people we see, it tends to shake out like this:
- Situational: once in a while, when something specific comes up (a stomach bug, a big race, a rough morning). That's $199 when it happens and nothing the rest of the time.
- Seasonal: a few times a year, often before travel or during cold season. Roughly $400 to $1,000 a year.
- Monthly: some people like a regular reset. At our prices that's about $2,400 a year, which is real money and worth weighing against what you’re getting from it.
If you find yourself wanting an IV every couple of weeks to feel normal, that's worth a conversation with your doctor about what's underneath it. We'd rather help you find that out than keep booking you.
When an IV isn't worth the money
This is the part most IV pages skip, so here it is plainly.
- You're a little dehydrated. Water and an electrolyte drink fix most mild dehydration for a couple of dollars.
- You already know your one nutrient gap. If labs showed low B12 or vitamin D, a targeted vitamin injection costs a fraction of an IV and takes about two minutes. We compare the two in IV therapy vs. vitamin injections.
- You have warning signs. Chest pain, trouble breathing, confusion, a high fever that won't break, or being unable to keep fluids down for a day: that's urgent care or the ER, not a wellness IV.
- You have kidney or heart failure. Extra fluid can be risky. That's part of why we do a health check before every visit, and why the answer is sometimes no.
The research is clearest for rehydrating after fluid loss and for correcting a real deficiency. Broader promises like more energy, stronger immunity, or anti-aging are popular, but the evidence is often still early. We'll tell you which is which for any formula you ask about.
Questions to ask before you pay anyone
- Is that price all-in, including any mobile or “boost” fees?
- Who is placing my IV, and what's their license?
- Who reviews my health history before I get anything?
- What exactly is in this formula, and at what doses?
- Would a cheaper option, like a single shot, do the job for what I'm dealing with?

Frequently asked questions
How much does IV therapy cost in Redding, CA?
At Refine Redding, core IV formulas are $199 per visit and NAD+ is $500. Nationally, wellness IVs commonly range from about $150 to $400, depending on ingredients, who administers them, and whether the visit is mobile.
Does insurance cover IV vitamin therapy?
Generally no. Insurance covers IV fluids as part of treating a diagnosed condition in a medical setting, not wellness drips. Some HSA or FSA plans allow it when a treatment is prescribed for a diagnosed condition, so check with your plan.
Is IV therapy worth the money?
It can be when you need fluids and nutrients together, like after illness, a rough night, or a hard training stretch. If you only need one nutrient, a vitamin injection is cheaper. If you're mildly dehydrated, water and electrolytes may be all you need.
How long does an IV therapy session take?
Most of our formulas take 30 to 45 minutes once the IV is placed. NAD+ runs 60 to 120 minutes or more because it has to be infused slowly to stay comfortable.
Why does NAD+ cost more than other IVs?
NAD+ is a more expensive ingredient and has to be infused slowly, so it takes much longer in the chair. Human research on NAD+ is real but still early, and we'll walk you through what's known before you book.
Can I add a vitamin shot to my IV?
Yes. Many clients add a vitamin injection to an IV visit so they don't need a separate appointment. Ask at booking or when you arrive.
