Our licensing and regulations section contains information on Federal rules regarding USP 797 and how it pertains to IV Therapy Practices. Although nearly all states adopt the USP 797 rules, there are some states that may have additional or slightly varied regulations. As we are not attorneys or experts in every state’s IV regulations, it is not possible for us to provide a breakdown of each state’s rules. We recommend that you consult with the Board of Pharmacy in your state and/or consult an attorney familiar with the IV regulations in your state.

Yes, as an RN you can likely own an IV Therapy Practice, however, you will need a provider to complete the patient H&P and order the indicated infusion protocol. Providers are MDs, DOs, Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), and Physician assistants (PAs). Some states allow NPs and CRNAs to have full practice authority, meaning physician involvement is not required. You will need to check your state’s Nurse Practice Act to determine the level of physician involvement that is required. If the Nurse Practice Act is vague or unclear we recommend consulting with a healthcare attorney familiar with your state’s scope of practice regulations. In all circumstances, a patient should be evaluated by a provider licensed in your state, and that provider should establish a proper patient-provider relationship. Once established, the provider must formulate and prescribe the appropriate treatment plan or protocol. Under no circumstance should a patient be treated with a standing order without first being evaluated by a licensed independent provider. This is a general guideline for best practice. You must consult with an attorney in your state for specific guidance related to your license type, scope of practice, and state regulations.

As a licensed provider, you can typically own an IV Therapy Practice. Providers are defined as MDs, DOs, Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), and Physician assistants (PAs). Some states only allow clinics to be owned by licensed physicians. Patient care should always be provided under the supervision of a physician, independent nurse practitioner, or independent nurse anesthetist. All patients should have a proper patient-provider relationship established and only licensed healthcare professionals should ever treat, prescribe, or otherwise provide care for a patient. Licensed healthcare professionals must always adhere to their state's scope of practice guidelines for their license type. Always consult an attorney in your state for specific rules and regulations pertaining to your state and your license type.

Yes, an LPN can take the course. In some states, an LPN cannot own a medical or IV clinic. An LPN may not be allowed to administer IV infusions or start IVs in some states. In other states, an LPN may be required to complete an additional IV certification in order to be able to administer IVs. Your state's Nurse Practice Act would provide that information. As an LPN, you may be able to own an IV Therapy Practice, however, you may require an IV-trained RN or an IV-trained provider to administer the infusions. You will also need a provider to complete their H&P and order the indicated infusion protocol. Providers are defined as MDs, DOs, Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), and Physician assistants (PAs). The provider required will vary from state to state. Some states allow NPs and CRNAs to have full practice authority, meaning physician involvement is not required. You will need to check your state’s Nurse Practice Act to determine the level of physician involvement that is required. If the Nurse Practice Act is vague or unclear we recommend consulting with a healthcare attorney familiar with your state’s scope of practice regulations. In all circumstances, a patient should be evaluated by a provider licensed in your state, and that provider should establish a proper patient-provider relationship. Once established the provider must formulate and prescribe the appropriate treatment plan or protocol. Under no circumstance should a patient be treated with a standing order without first being evaluated by a licensed independent provider. This is a general guideline for best practice.

Please read our disclaimer below for some general information related to best practices and standard of care for IV hydration and IV nutrition clinics. Legal Disclaimer for IV Therapy Academy Training Program This disclaimer is crucial for participants in the IV Therapy Academy Training Program ("the Program"). The term "providers" refers to Medical Doctors (MDs), Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs), Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), and Physician Assistants (PAs). State-Specific Requirements State regulations governing IV therapy practice can vary. Some states allow NPs and CRNAs to have full practice authority, meaning physician involvement is not required. Others require NPs or CRNAs to collaborate with or be supervised by a physician. To determine your state's specific requirements, consult your state's Nurse Practice Act or your attorney. Consultation with Legal Counsel In cases where state regulations are unclear, it is highly recommended to consult a qualified healthcare attorney familiar with your state's scope of practice laws to ensure compliance. Patient Evaluation and Provider-Patient Relationship Regardless of state regulations, patients must be evaluated by a licensed healthcare provider in their state. Providers must establish a proper patient-provider relationship, including a medical history review, physical examination, and informed consent. Treatment Planning After the patient-provider relationship is established, providers must create and prescribe a suitable treatment plan or protocol based on the patient's needs and condition. Treatment should only commence after this comprehensive evaluation. No Standing Orders Patients should never receive treatment based on standing orders without prior evaluation by a licensed independent provider. Standing orders, if used, must adhere to state laws and be administered under licensed provider supervision.
