Iron infusions, at home
Tired of running on empty? Modwella brings iron IV therapy to your front door. No infusion-center scheduling, no waiting rooms, no fluorescent lights. Whether you are recovering postpartum, managing heavy periods, training hard, or done with the stomach upset of oral iron pills, a licensed Registered Nurse comes to your home, hotel, office, or Airbnb.
Every appointment includes a free teleconsult with a licensed medical provider, an RN-administered infusion, and a protocol built around your labs. Modwella serves clients in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
Why IV iron instead of pills
Oral iron has to survive stomach acid and compete with food and calcium for absorption. Many people get nausea, cramping, or constipation along the way. For a real deficiency, that can mean months of pills. IV iron skips the gut and delivers a full dose straight into your bloodstream in one visit.
Two protocols
- Iron Hydrate. Our core protocol: a full therapeutic dose of IV iron with balanced fluids. A fit for clients with a clean lab panel and no history of infusion reactions.
- Iron Plus. Everything in Iron Hydrate, plus added vitamins, minerals, and pre-medications designed to improve comfort and reduce the risk of infusion side effects. A good fit if you have had side effects from a prior infusion.
Labs come first
We require recent labs before any iron infusion: ferritin, a CBC, and iron studies, typically from the last 6 to 12 months, plus provider approval. No current labs? We can draw them at home through Modwella Labs. The Anemia Panel checks red blood cell size and shape and your available iron.
What to expect at your infusion
- Teleconsult. A provider reviews your labs and history and confirms the protocol.
- Setup. Your RN sets up next to a comfortable chair or couch.
- Test dose. Iron starts with a slow test dose so your nurse can watch how you respond.
- The infusion. Iron runs slowly on purpose, for comfort and safety. Your nurse stays with you the entire visit.
- Wrap-up. Plan on 60 to 90 minutes total.
How you may feel after
Many clients notice more energy and clearer thinking within one to two weeks. Hemoglobin usually rebuilds first. Ferritin, your iron storage, follows over four to eight weeks. A follow-up lab panel confirms your levels. Individual results vary.
Side effects
Side effects are uncommon and usually mild: a temporary headache, muscle aches, a metallic taste during the infusion, or a flushing feeling. Bruising at the IV site is possible. Serious reactions are rare. Your nurse stays with you throughout and carries the same supplies, medications, and emergency protocols used in clinical settings.
Who should talk to a provider first
Iron infusions are for people whose labs show they need iron. Tell your provider about any prior infusion reaction, allergies, and the medications you take. Pregnancy is evaluated case by case with your OB. Postpartum iron repletion is one of the most common reasons clients book with us, and breastfeeding clients can typically receive iron infusions.
How many infusions you'll need
It depends on how low your stores are. Some clients are fully repleted after one Iron Hydrate or Iron Plus visit. Others need a short series spaced one to two weeks apart. Your provider recommends a plan from your labs.
Cost and insurance
An in-home iron infusion with Modwella is often half the cost of an infusion center, and far more convenient. The menu price is what you pay. First-time clients save 10%, and active-duty military and veterans save 15% with valid ID.
Mobile iron infusions are not typically covered by insurance. We provide a superbill on request for possible out-of-network reimbursement, and accept all major credit cards and HSA/FSA cards when applicable.
