IV iron therapy at EBL Clinic
When oral iron isn’t tolerated, effective, or appropriate, IV iron may be another option. Our structured program puts assessment, medical authorization, and monitored care first.

Why IV iron
Iron deficiency can affect energy, focus, and physical capacity well before it shows up as anemia on a standard blood test. Oral iron is often the right first step — but it can be poorly tolerated, slow to work, or insufficient for someone who is significantly depleted. IV iron delivers a therapeutic dose directly, under clinical supervision.
Why we built it this way. Good iron infusion care shouldn't be complicated. Every patient — however they arrive — goes through the same clear steps: a clinical review, confirmed authorization, and a monitored appointment, with nothing skipped and nothing left to guesswork.
Recognizing the signs
Iron supports oxygen transport and many essential functions. When iron stores become depleted, the effects can show up across your day.
Symptoms alone can’t diagnose iron deficiency. Bloodwork and an appropriate clinical assessment are needed to determine whether IV iron is right for you.
Get started
Patients and providers each have a clear starting point. If you're not sure which applies, call us and our team will point you in the right direction.
If you are not currently an EBL Clinic patient, start with an IV Initial Intake — a focused history, safety review, and review of current bloodwork to determine whether IV iron may be appropriate.
Request an IV Initial Intake →Start with a short Iron Review visit to confirm your labs, eligibility, and any changes to your health history.
Request an Iron Review →Complete the Referral & Delegation form with your assessment and current labs, and fax or email it to EBL. Once received, EBL independently verifies labs and screening before scheduling — no further action is needed from your office.
Download the referral form →Questions? Ask our team →Complete the ND Referral form with your patient's history and recent labs, and fax or email it to EBL. An ND referral can initiate the process, but it does not replace the required prescription and medical authorization from a physician or nurse practitioner. Your patient will complete a brief EBL workup visit before delegation and infusion are scheduled.

What to expect
Your medical history and bloodwork are reviewed through the pathway that applies to you.
Your own MD or NP may complete the required delegation, or EBL can arrange it through our internal NP for a delegation fee — see Fees below.
On a separate day, we complete a brief clinical check, confirm labs and allergies, and walk you through the process.
Your prescribed IV iron is administered while you are monitored, followed by at least 30 minutes of observation.
Safety first
Current clinical information and appropriate medical authorization must be in place before treatment. You are monitored during your infusion and observed for at least 30 minutes afterward.
Please tell us before booking if you have had a previous reaction to IV iron or if you are pregnant. Additional clinical review may be required.
Fees
Costs are listed plainly below. What you pay depends on the pathway you enter through and who completes the medical delegation.
Estimated pathway totals: New patient: $405 with external MD/NP authorization or $505 with EBL NP authorization. Current EBL patient: $325 or $425 respectively. Practitioner referral (e.g. ND, workup review): $325 or $425 respectively. Direct MD/NP referral: $230. Medication is purchased separately and is not included in these totals. If your own MD or NP completes the delegation, there is no EBL delegation fee.
Common questions
Current results for ferritin, CBC (hemoglobin), transferrin saturation (TSAT), TIBC, creatinine/eGFR, and ALT — all dated within three months of your infusion. Additional tests may be requested depending on your history.
IV iron requires appropriate medical authorization. It may come from your own MD or NP, a referring provider, or EBL’s internal NP.
EBL’s current protocol includes Venofer® and Monoferric®. Your prescribed treatment depends on your individual care plan.
No. The infusion fee covers the treatment appointment itself. The prescribed medication is purchased separately and paid directly to the pharmacy — see Fees below.
No. It applies only if EBL’s internal NP completes the delegation — if your own MD or NP does it, there’s no extra fee for that step.
This complimentary appointment is EBL’s independent safety check and orientation before treatment. It cannot be combined with infusion day.
