Q: What are the profit margins for a Mobile IV Therapy?

The average profit margin for a Mobile IV Therapy is around 38%. Startup: IV supplies kit ~$5K, website/booking software, medical director agreement. Ongoing: IV supplies ($10–$30/session), nurse pay ($35–$55/hr or per-session split), medical director retainer ($500–$2K/mo), liability insurance (~$3,000/yr), booking platform. A solo RN-owner running 4 sessions/day nets $70,000–$120,000/year. A 3–5 nurse operation grossing $600K/year nets $200,000–$250,000 after all costs.

Hangover cures, wellness drips, and $300 per hour you don't have to explain

Mobile IV therapy businesses send a registered nurse to your home, hotel room, or office to administer an IV drip — rehydration, vitamin cocktails, NAD+, immune boosters, or hangover recovery. Sessions run $100–$400 each; the IV bag + supplies cost $10–$30. A single RN running 4–6 appointments per day generates $1,500–$2,000/day in revenue. Profit margins hit 30–60% with no retail space required. The global mobile IV hydration market is growing at 8–12% annually, driven by wellness culture, post-COVID immune anxiety, and hungover millennials. North America holds 51% of global market share. The business requires no facility, minimal equipment, and scales by adding nurse contractors on a 1099 basis.

How It Works

Owner operates as a medical practice (typically under a Medical Director/physician's license in most states) and dispatches 1099 RNs to client locations. Clients book via app or website; RN arrives within 1–2 hours with a pre-loaded IV kit. Menu includes: Basic Hydration ($99–$149), Myers' Cocktail ($175–$250), NAD+ Therapy ($350–$800), Recovery/Hangover ($150–$250). Corporate wellness contracts (events, sports teams, offices) drive volume. Revenue scales by adding nurses and geographic coverage without adding fixed costs.
