What’s a normal price for an IV drip in Arkansas?
Most published prices in this part of the state sit between $99 and $180 for a standard wellness drip. The spread comes down to three things: how much is in the bag, whether boosts are included or charged separately, and whether the clinic publishes prices at all.
That last one matters more than it should. A good number of clinics won’t tell you a price until you’re in the room, which is a choice — and usually not one made in your favour.
What does LUX Med Clinic charge?
Everything is on the Drip Menu, but here it is in one place:
| What | Price | Drip Club member |
|---|---|---|
| Your first drip (Hydrate + B12, new patients) | $69 | — |
| Hydrate — fluids and electrolytes, 30 min | $79 | Included in your monthly drips |
| Standard drips — Recover, Immunity, Energy, Allergy Relief, Migraine Relief, Metabolic, Detox, Jet Lag, Sleep | $129 | $99 |
| Premium drips — Glow, Myers’ Cocktail, Performance | $149 | $119 |
| NAD+ 250 mg (2–3 hours) | $249 | $199 |
| NAD+ 500 mg | $419 | $339 |
| Boosts | $20 each, three for $50 | 10% off |
| Shots (B12, vitamin C, biotin and the rest) | from $25 | 10% off |
Every drip includes the fluids, the nurse for the whole infusion, and a five-minute health screen before we start. There’s no separate “consultation fee” for a drip and no minimum purchase.
How do those compare with Jonesboro?
Jonesboro is the nearest place with several clinics publishing prices, so it’s the fair comparison. As of September 2026, from their own websites: a standard IV runs $135 at one clinic and $150 at two others, with boosts charged on top and mostly unpriced. A Myers’ Cocktail is published at $150 to $175. Plain hydration is $80.
We’re a little under most of that, deliberately — and our $129 is all-in rather than a base that needs two $30 boosts to become the drip you actually wanted. That’s the comparison worth making. A $135 bag with $60 of boosts is a $195 bag.
Prices change. These were correct when this post was written and we re-check them every quarter; if you’re reading this much later, click through and check.
Does insurance cover IV therapy?
No — not ours and not anyone’s. Wellness IV therapy is cash-pay everywhere in the state. What that means practically:
- HSA and FSA cards are accepted here for eligible services. Whether a specific drip qualifies is between you and your plan administrator, and we won’t tell you it does.
- Iron infusions are different. That’s a medical treatment for lab-confirmed iron deficiency, and we’ll give you a superbill — an itemised receipt with the diagnosis and procedure codes — to submit to your insurer yourself. See Iron Infusion.
- Cherry financing spreads the cost of a series or a program. See Financing.
Is a membership cheaper than paying per drip?
Only if you actually come. The Drip Club is $149 a month and includes two drips of any tier and a shot, plus member prices on everything else — so it pays for itself on your second drip of the month and loses you money if you come once a quarter.
The honest maths:
| If you come… | Paying per drip | Drip Club at $149/mo |
|---|---|---|
| Once a month | $129 | $149 — $20 more, and the $25 shot is included |
| Twice a month | $258 | $149 — you save $109 |
| Four times a year | $516 a year | $1,788 a year — don’t join |
If you’re seasonal — duck camp, tournament season, allergy season — the 5+1 Drip Pass at $595 is the better answer: five drips, the sixth free, shareable with your household, good for twelve months.
What about mobile IV — does coming to me cost more?
The drip costs the same at your kitchen table as it does in our lounge. What’s added is a travel fee of $89 within 30 miles of Wynne, and that’s waived entirely for groups of six or more — at which point everyone pays member prices too. Beyond 30 miles it’s $2 a mile. See Mobile IV.
What should I actually be comparing?
Four things, in this order:
1. What’s in the bag, by name. If a clinic won’t list the ingredients, that’s your answer. 2. What the price includes. Base bag, or bag plus boosts? Is the health screen extra? 3. Who administers it. A nurse, under a physician’s direction, is the standard you should expect. 4. Whether they’ll say no. A clinic that treats everyone who walks in isn’t screening properly. Ours turns people away most weeks — for pregnancy, for kidney problems, for symptoms that belong in an urgent care.
Price is the easiest thing to compare and the least important of the four.
Questions
Is a cheaper drip a worse drip? Not necessarily. Our own cheapest bag, Hydrate at $79, is fluids and electrolytes and it’s the right answer for a lot of people — plenty of what’s sold at higher prices is the same liter of fluid with vitamins added. What makes a drip worse is a bag that doesn’t match what you needed, which is a screening question rather than a price question.
Why is NAD+ so much more expensive? The ingredient is genuinely expensive, and it has to be infused slowly — two to three hours, because running it fast is unpleasant. You’re paying for the vial and for the chair time. It’s the drip we most often talk people out of.
Do you charge for the consultation? Not for a drip or a shot — the five-minute health screen is free and it happens at every visit. A consultation with Dr. Desai for weight loss, iron or the intimate and men’s wellness treatments is $75, credited toward your treatment.
Can I get one drip and see how it goes? Yes, and that’s what we’d suggest. Your first drip is $69 as a new patient. Nobody should buy a package before they know how they respond.
Do prices go up? They can, and we’ll say so on the page when they do rather than quietly. This post is dated, and we re-check both our prices and the comparisons every quarter.
