Benefits of a Hospital IV Clinic
Patients and their physicians can take comfort knowing that therapy is delivered in the security of a hospital environment. We use smart pumps to ensure precise dosage delivery and many of our medications are developed by our expert team of pharmacists on-site.
Additionally, our outpatient IV clinic is backed by a DNV accredited hospital and a CAP accredited laboratory. Patients can relax during their infusion in our tranquil and inviting atmosphere. Also for patient comfort, we have provided recliners, access to a large screen TV with cable, and free WIFI.

Referal Information for Providers
Prior Authorization
Prior Authorization must be in place prior to scheudling an appointment with our Portneuf IV therapy team.
Tip for Referring Providers:
- Know your codes: services to be performed; medications ordered, and diagnosis.
- Contact Patient's Insurance either by phone or check their website to see if a prior authorization is necessary.
- If you are told no authorization is needed: note the name of the person you are speaking with, ask for reference number for the call and note the date and time of the conversation.
- If Prior Authorization is needed and treatment is urgent, please use the insurance company’s fastest method for approval.
- Never begin treatment without a Prior Authorization as most insurances do not retroauthorize services.
