Iron infusion FAQ

Before You Book

Straight answers from the team that will treat you

Do I need a referral for an iron infusion?

No. You can book directly. Our clinician reviews your labs and symptoms at your visit and confirms that an iron infusion is appropriate for you.

What labs do you need to see?

Recent ferritin and hemoglobin results are the most useful, and a full iron panel is ideal. We accept labs from your own doctor, a lab chain or a previous clinic. If you do not have labs, we can order them for you. Labs from the last 30 days let us schedule your infusion sooner.

What is the difference between an iron infusion and an iron transfusion?

A transfusion is donated blood. An iron infusion is a dose of iron medication given through a small IV; no blood is involved. Most people who search for an iron transfusion are looking for an iron infusion, which is what we provide.

Which iron do you use?

Venofer (iron sucrose), given with a B12 injection. Iron sucrose has a long safety record and a low rate of reactions, which is why hospitals and infusion centers use it so widely.

Who is a good candidate?

People with iron deficiency or iron deficiency anemia, low ferritin, heavy periods, pregnancy or postpartum depletion, gut conditions that limit absorption, athletes with low iron, and anyone who cannot tolerate oral iron. Your clinician confirms suitability before you are treated.

Is IV iron safe?

When given by trained clinicians, yes. Minor side effects such as a metallic taste, flushing, headache or mild nausea are uncommon and short-lived. Serious reactions to iron sucrose are rare. You are monitored throughout and after the infusion.

How many sessions will I need?

Usually one to five, depending on how low your ferritin and hemoglobin are. Mild deficiency may need a single session; moderate to significant deficiency typically needs three to five. Your clinician sets the plan and the pace, up to one or two sessions a week, from your labs and health history.

How long does each visit take?

About 60 to 90 minutes for the infusion, plus a short check-in. Plan for roughly 90 minutes at the clinic.

How soon will I feel a difference?

Many patients notice more energy within one to two weeks. Blood counts improve over the following weeks, and iron stores refill over months. Follow-up labs after your last session confirm the result.

How long do the results last?

Most patients hold healthy iron levels for three to six months or longer. How long depends on what caused the deficiency, so your clinician will suggest when to recheck.

Can I have an iron infusion while pregnant or after giving birth?

Iron deficiency is very common in pregnancy and after delivery, and IV iron is frequently used for it. Bring your recent labs and let your clinician know how far along you are or when you delivered; suitability is confirmed at your visit.

How much does it cost, and do you take insurance?

$450 for a single session, $1,275 for a 3-session package and $2,000 for a 5-session package, with Venofer and B12 included. IndigoVia is cash-pay and does not bill insurance; the full price is shown before you book.

Do you offer iron infusions at home?

No. Iron infusions are given only at our Jacksonville Beach clinic so you can be monitored properly. Our mobile service covers hydration and vitamin IVs, not iron.

I live outside Jacksonville. Is it worth the drive?

Many of our iron patients drive in from St. Augustine, Orange Park, Palatka, Palm Coast, Lake City and southeast Georgia. Each session is a single visit, and your clinician sets how often you come, so most people plan a morning appointment and drive home the same day.

Can I drive myself home afterwards?

Yes. There is no sedation involved, and most patients return to work or their day straight after.

Still unsure? Call 904-339-8204 and talk to the clinic.

No pressure, no referral needed.
