IV Solutions RX delivers medications and supplies straight to your patient’s doors in strict compliance with the medication manufacturer’s shipping safety requirements and our own internal quality controls. From the moment we receive the prescription from you, we obtain all the necessary clinical and financial information and authorizations including Prior Authorizations from your patient’s insurance company, so that your patient can receive their medications as timely and seamlessly as possible. We use national, regional, local, and our own couriers to deliver your patient’s medications directly to them.

Patient therapy success is greatly aided by the easy access and flow of information. We utilize a proven online system that provides all the patient information you need to monitor and control your patient’s treatment including patient prescriptions, side effects, problems, concerns, changes in daily routine, circumstances, and more. We ensure this information is always accurate, up-to-date, and maintained in a HIPAA compliant manner.

We are committed to delivering patient’s medication as quickly as possible in order to meet the clinical demands of their condition. We often have to go through a Prior Authorization process with insurance companies that may require certain laboratory and other clinical documentation prior to IV Solutions RX receiving payment authorization to ship your patient’s medication. Once approved, our system allows for quick processing times with guaranteed receipt of prescriptions and immediate auto confirmation from our system. We have an experienced logistics department that expertly uses national, regional, local, and our own courier services to deliver medications and supplies your patients. Our commitment to your patients and you is the delivery of the right medication in the right dose at the right time. Exact delivery times may vary on a case-by-case basis depending on the delivery requirements of the medication itself, authorization processes, and other requirements. We will always let your patient  know the expected delivery time of their medication and supplies.

Clicking that button takes you directly to the Online Referral form.

Yes, we can. IV Solutions RX coordinates with your patient’s insurance provider on their behalf. If they have a prescription that requires Prior Authorization, we will manage the approval process for them. As you know, Prior Authorization means that the insurance company needs to review the medication information prior to offering coverage. That may require IV Solutions RX and your own physician office to submit certain laboratory results and clinical assessments that appropriately document your patient’s need for the medication.

For patients without insurance or who require other financial assistance, we offer the expertise of our dedicated specialists that work with our network of financial aid assistance organizations, funds, charities, and manufacturer co-pay assistance plans that may be able to provide needed assistance to your patient for their therapy.
