If you have searched "how much does IV therapy cost" before booking, you already know the answer is usually frustrating. Half the menus you find hide the real number behind a "starting at" price, then stack on travel fees, gratuity, and supply charges at checkout. We do it the opposite way. The price you see on our menu is the price you pay, a licensed nurse drives to wherever you are in Nashville, and there is no separate trip charge buried in the fine print. Here is exactly what IV therapy costs in Music City and what your money buys.
What Is the Full Price Ladder at The Drip Lab?
We keep the menu simple so you can match the drip to what your body actually needs and what your wallet wants to spend. Every drip below includes a one-liter bag, all supplies, and a registered nurse at your door.
- The Baseline — $185. Straight hydration plus core electrolytes. The entry point and our most affordable option, perfect for a quick reset after travel or a long week.
- The Myers Cocktail — $250. The classic wellness blend of B-complex, B12, vitamin C, magnesium, and calcium. Our most popular drip for energy and immune support.
- The Flush — $275. The Myers base with a glutathione push for detox and skin support.
- The Competitive Edge — $300. Built for athletes and weekend warriors, with amino acids and glutathione to speed recovery.
- The Hangover Reset — $375. Our nurse-only recovery drip with anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory medication for a rough morning after Broadway.
- The Hype (NAD+) — $450. A 100mg NAD+ infusion for cellular energy and recovery, administered slowly by a registered nurse.
You can see the complete breakdown, including durations and ingredients, on our full menu and pricing page.
What Is Actually Included in the Price?
This is where mobile IV therapy earns its keep. When we quote you $185 or $450, that number is genuinely all-in for the Nashville metro. Here is everything folded into a single price:
- A licensed registered nurse. Not a medic, not a tech. Every Drip Lab treatment is started and monitored by an RN, under the oversight of our board-certified Medical Director.
- All medical supplies. The IV bag, catheter, tubing, flushes, dressing, and every single-use sterile item are included. Nothing is added at checkout.
- Travel within Davidson County. The nurse comes to your home, hotel, Airbnb, or office at no extra charge inside our core service area.
- Your health intake and the full session. The pre-treatment screening, the infusion itself, and cleanup are all part of the price.
The only things that ever cost extra are optional and disclosed up front: a NAD+ booster add-on, extended travel beyond 15 miles from the city center ($35), after-hours service after 10 PM ($50), or a group setup for five or more people at one address ($75). A refundable deposit holds your appointment ($50 for most drips, $75 for The Hype) and is applied to your total. No surprise gratuity, no "convenience fee."
Is Mobile IV Therapy More Expensive Than a Clinic?
This is the question we hear most, and the honest answer surprises people: no, not in any way that matters. Nashville IV clinic pricing lands in roughly the same range, $150 to $400 for comparable drips, but the clinic price is rarely the price you actually pay once you factor in your time.
To get a clinic drip you have to find parking near the clinic, drive there, sit in a waiting room, get treated, then drive home, often when you are already dehydrated, hungover, or wiped out from a workout. That is exactly when leaving the house is the last thing you want to do. With a mobile drip, the nurse absorbs the travel. You stay on your couch, in your hotel room, or at your desk, and the treatment comes to you.
Because our travel within Davidson County is built into the menu price, you are not paying a trip fee on top of the drip the way you would with many mobile services that advertise a low "starting" rate and then bolt on $50 to $100 for the house call. When you compare the true out-the-door cost, mobile IV therapy with The Drip Lab is competitive with a clinic and far more convenient.
How Much Does a NAD+ IV Cost?
NAD+ is the priciest item on most IV menus, and for good reason. NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme your cells use to produce energy and support repair, and research in Cell Metabolism describes how NAD+ levels decline with age and how restoring them is an active area of therapeutic study. The compound itself is expensive, and it must be infused slowly for comfort, which means a longer chair time for your nurse.
Our dedicated NAD+ drip, The Hype, delivers 100mg of NAD+ for $450. If you would rather keep your usual drip and add NAD+ to it, the booster is priced at $0.75 per milligram, available in doses from 125mg up to 1000mg, with one booster per appointment. A 250mg add-on, for example, runs about $188 on top of your base drip. Higher doses add meaningful time to the session, so plan accordingly. We genuinely offer some of the most competitive NAD+ pricing in Nashville.
Why Is IV Therapy Worth the Price?
The value question comes down to one word: bioavailability. When you swallow a vitamin, much of the dose is lost passing through your stomach, intestines, and liver. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements notes that oral vitamin C absorption falls below 50 percent at doses above one gram a day, and that intravenous administration can raise blood concentrations dramatically higher than any oral dose can reach. IV therapy bypasses the gut entirely, delivering fluids and nutrients straight into your bloodstream.
That efficiency is the whole point. For rapid rehydration, the difference is just as real. MedlinePlus, the NIH's consumer health service, notes that more severe dehydration is treated with intravenous fluids precisely because IV delivery restores fluid and electrolytes faster than drinking can. You are not paying for a fancier vitamin. You are paying for a delivery method that actually gets the nutrients and fluids where your body can use them, in about 45 minutes, without you leaving your living room.
Does Insurance Cover IV Therapy in Nashville?
Elective IV vitamin and hydration therapy is considered a wellness service, so it is not covered by health insurance, and The Drip Lab TN does not file insurance claims. Payment is collected at the time of service, and we accept all major credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, and cash. Because there is no insurance middleman, the price you see is the final price, which is part of why mobile IV pricing stays transparent. Ready to lock in your drip? Book your appointment online or call us, and a licensed nurse will be at your door, usually the same day.
