What an IV drip actually costs in four American cities
Most IV clinics will not tell you what a drip costs until you are in the chair.
We indexed 1,908 recovery and vitality providers across Miami, Phoenix, Austin, and Nashville, then read every published service menu we could find. Out of 1,554 provider websites visited, 436 publish at least one price. That is 28 percent.
The other 72 percent ask you to call, book a consult, or walk in first.
For a cash-pay service, that is a strange norm. There is no insurance code hiding the number. The price is the price, and most of the industry treats it like a secret. So we collected what is actually published, all 4,604 prices of it, and put the cities side by side.
The standard drip, city by city
Median published price for a standard IV drip (excluding NAD+, which lives in its own price class below):
| City | Median | Typical range (middle 50%) | Providers publishing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Austin | $205 | $160 to $250 | 18 |
| Miami | $200 | $150 to $291 | 66 |
| Phoenix | $199 | $150 to $235 | 66 |
| Nashville | $169 | $120 to $209 | 35 |
Three of the four cities land within six dollars of each other. Nashville is the outlier, about 15 percent below the pack, and its whole range sits lower.
The spread inside a city is wider than the spread between cities. In Miami, the middle half of published drip prices runs from $150 to $291. Same city, same service category, nearly double the price. Where you are matters less than which door you walk through.
NAD+ is a different economy
NAD+ drips carry the widest and strangest pricing in the dataset.
| City | Median NAD+ session | Range published |
|---|---|---|
| Miami | $700 | $299 to $999 |
| Austin | $550 | $249 to $950 |
| Phoenix | $500 | $100 to $1,100 |
| Nashville | $275 | $236 to $998 |
A median NAD+ session in Miami costs two and a half times what it costs in Nashville. Within Phoenix alone, published prices run from $100 to $1,100 for services carrying the same three letters. Dose sizes differ, and menus rarely say by how much, which is part of the story: this is the least comparable, least transparent corner of an already opaque market. Sample sizes here are smaller (9 to 19 providers per city), worth keeping in mind.
Memberships flip the map
Monthly IV memberships reverse the city order. Miami, the most expensive city for NAD+, has the cheapest median membership at $149 a month. Phoenix, mid-pack on drips, has the most expensive at $260.
One reading: Miami has the densest supply of IV providers in the dataset by a wide margin, and monthly pricing is where that competition shows up.
What recovery costs in Miami
Miami is our launch city, and its full recovery stack came in the same collection. Median published single-session prices:
| Practice | Median session |
|---|---|
| Float | $170 |
| Cryotherapy | $140 |
| Infrared sauna | $135 |
| Red light | $135 |
| Recovery studio (multi-practice) | $130 |
| Hyperbaric oxygen | $109 |
| Cold plunge | $49 |
Cold is the cheapest door into the whole recovery world, at about a quarter of the price of a drip.
The menu-name economy
One more thing the menus revealed. The most common drip in America, by menu count, is still the Myers Cocktail, at a $200 median. After that, menus turn aspirational: names like "immunity," "energy boost," "glow," and "skinny drip" fill the top ten. These are the providers' own menu names, not descriptions of what the drips do, and the pricing does not follow the promise. "Immunity" runs a $210 median while "energy boost" runs $119, and the ingredient lists behind those names vary from one clinic to the next.
The naming tells you what people come in asking for. The price tells you what the market thinks that ask is worth.
How we collected this
All prices were taken from provider websites in July 2026, exactly as published, with the quoted menu text retained for every price recorded. Nothing is estimated, averaged from third parties, or inferred. Medians are used throughout because a handful of luxury packages would drag averages upward. Prices for roughly 72 percent of providers are not represented for one reason: they are not published anywhere.
That 28 percent transparency figure may be the most useful number on this page. It is also a moving one, and we will re-run it as the market changes.
