How Much Does IV Therapy Cost? 2026 Price Guide

Real IV therapy prices by treatment, what drives the cost, and how to pay less — updated for 2026.

The short answer

Most wellness IV drips cost $100–$200 per session in 2026. Basic hydration and vitamin drips (like a Myers' Cocktail) start around $100–$150; specialty infusions cost more — hangover IVs run $150–$250, and NAD+ therapy ranges from about $300 to $1,000 depending on the dose. Mobile visits add a travel or setup fee.

Typical prices by treatment

Standard wellness and hydration drips (Myers' Cocktail, immune, energy) run about $100–$200. Hangover and recovery IVs are usually $150–$250 because they add anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory medications.

NAD+ therapy is the outlier: $300 to $1,000+ per session, driven by the dose (250mg–1,000mg) and the much longer, slower infusion time. Beauty and glutathione drips typically land around $120–$275.

What drives the price

Four things move the number: ingredients and dose, whether a nurse or physician is on staff, clinic versus mobile delivery (mobile adds a fee for coming to you), and add-ons like extra vitamin pushes or medications.

Beware of prices that look too low — a genuinely medical, nurse-administered drip has real staffing costs behind it.

How to pay less

Memberships are the biggest lever: if you get IVs regularly, a monthly plan meaningfully lowers the per-drip cost. Many clinics also accept HSA/FSA cards for eligible services.

Elective wellness IV therapy is generally not covered by insurance, so don't count on reimbursement for a routine drip.

Frequently asked

Why is NAD+ therapy so much more expensive?+

NAD+ requires a larger, specialized dose and must be infused slowly over a longer session to avoid discomfort, so it costs several times more than a standard vitamin drip.

Does insurance cover IV therapy?+

Elective wellness IV therapy usually isn't covered, but many providers accept HSA/FSA payment and offer membership pricing that lowers the effective cost.
