If you’re in Northeast Ohio & considering IV hydration but feeling unsure, this blog is for you!
What Goes Into Starting an IV Hydration Clinic?
Hiring a Medical Director
The Medical Director is a physician (MD, DO) who creates policies, procedures, & oversees the services. Additionally, the Medical Director assesses & determines eligibility for clients prior to receiving services (IV hydration, nutrient injections, microneedling, PRP, etc.). Our Medical Director for River to Sea Wellness is Dr. Afshin Humayun, MD.
Obtaining Licensure from the Ohio Board of Pharmacy
All IV hydration clinics must create policies & procedures to follow guidelines set forth by the Ohio Board of Pharmacy. Compliance is ongoing & clinics are subject to inspection prior to license approval as well as random inspections for as long as the licensure is held. These guidelines include standards for medication storage, medication purchases from approved compounding pharmacies, & more. This ensures safety for all clients receiving services.
Maintaining Compliance for All Regulatory Boards
As stated above, compliance is ongoing for the Ohio Board of Pharmacy. Additionally, the Medical Director must maintain compliance for their individual licensure through the State Medical Board of Ohio & Registered Nurses (RNs) administering services must maintain compliance for their individual licenses through the Ohio Board of Nursing. To summarize, in order to have a compliant IV hydration clinic, compliance is mandatory through three regulatory boards: the Ohio Board of Pharmacy, State Medical Board of Ohio, & the Ohio Board of Nursing.
What Does the Appointment Process Look Like?
Completing an intake form for the Medical Director to review.
Attending a Telehealth visit with the Medical Director to discuss medical history, medications, goals for receiving services, & more. Dr. Humayun will determine eligibility & discuss whether or not our services are right for you.
If eligible for services, an appointment will be scheduled at one of our physical locations or for mobile services. IV infusions typically take about an hour to an hour & a half to fully administer.
Frequency is different for each client, but many clients typically receive IV infusions once or twice per month. View our memberships here.
