Virtual urgent care visits from wherever you are

IV Therapy is a method of administering Saline and any vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, and/or amino acids directly into the bloodstream through intravenous (IV) infusion.

It provides your body with nearly instant valuable nutrients by bypassing the digestive system, and has been clinically proven to be more effective than oral supplements.

There are countless benefits of IV infusion therapy including increased energy, instantaneous vitamin absorption, and maintained hydration. For more information on all the benefits of IV infusions, check out this post on our blog, The Complete Guide to IV Infusion Therapy Benefits.

In short no, it does not hurt. But while everyone is different, the overall consensus from our patients on the process of starting an IV is “wow, that wasn’t bad at all!”.

After a small and fast ‘pinch’ the IV will be inserted and you can start relaxing in our zero-gravity massage chairs until your treatment is completed.

Once finished, the provider will circle back to disconnect your IV and apply a small bandaid to get you on your way.

Also, to ease any potential discomfort we offer an optional numbing medication in the form of Lidocaine available by request.

All vitamins and nutrients used at NeuMed are FDA approved and go through high levels of testing. Every IV therapy treatment is administered by registered nurses and performed under a medical director.

Before an IV infusion is ever started on a client, vitals signs are recorded and their health history evaluated to ensure a safe experience.

Once the treatment has finished, clients can resume most, if not all activities immediately with the exception of extremely heavy lifting.

The testing protocol for a COVID rapid test near you is the same as other COVID tests in Houston, but the nasal swab is not inserted as deeply as needed for a PCR COVID test.

This test detects the virus’s genetic material using a lab technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Our licensed healthcare professionals will collect a nasal swab sample from the patient. It is next sent to our onsite lab to isolate the genetic material and interpret the results. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test is considered the gold standard since the rapid test has demonstrated that it can miss some cases in the diagnosis of COVID-19.

NeuMed accepts health plans from most insurance carriers as well we will file your claim to help make the process as easy as possible, just like your typical doctor’s office.

We’re currently in-network with the following insurance providers:

We are pleased to participate in a limited number of ACA/Exchange plans that enable us to provide you with the high level of care and service you expect from NeuMed. Our goal is to participate with as many plans as possible, and we expect to continue to expand the list of participating plans over time. See our Insurance page for more information.

NeuMed is only in network with specific ACA-related plans sold via the Health Insurance Marketplace, which are listed above. For individual and family health plans purchased privately (outside of an employer) through an insurance company, broker, or small business group, please be aware that if we’re not in network with their Exchange counterparts, we may not be in network with those plans.

The amount of your co-pay will entirely depend on the terms of your insurance plan. Most insurance cards show the co-pay amount on the front or back of the card. If you don’t see an amount, you should call your insurance company to verify.
