Can You Book a Mobile IV for Someone Else?
Updated: 17 hours ago
Yes, you can book a mobile IV for someone else, and a registered nurse from our own team goes to them. At Key Basis IV it works basically the same way as booking for yourself. We get both names and book the appointment under the name of the person getting the IV. Either of you can fill out the forms. We take the card of whoever is paying.

How does booking a mobile IV for someone else work?
Booking for someone else doesn't really make a difference on our end, or for the person getting the IV.
We ask two things up front. First, we want to know if you are at the same location as the person getting the IV. Second, we need to know if you are their guardian or parent, or have any kind of secondary responsibility for them. Spouses and friends book for each other too, so you don't need to be either one to book.
Then we take these details for the booking:
Your name and the name of the person getting the IV, with the appointment booked under their name
A phone number for either one of you
An email for either one of you
The address for the appointment, whether that is their home, their hotel or their office
That's all we need. Then a registered nurse from our own team goes to them at that address. For how quickly a nurse can get there, see How to Book an At Home IV in Miami.
Does the person getting the IV have to fill out their own forms?
No, they don't have to fill out their own forms. Someone else can do it for them. Either of you can fill them out, as long as whoever fills them out signs to be responsible.
There is one rule on signing. If a third party fills out the forms, they sign in their own name, as a guardian or in a similar role. They can't sign under the patient's name. The person getting the IV confirms their consent with the nurse at the appointment.
The only thing the person getting the IV still has to do is get the IV, and that's pretty much it. At their first appointment, they also do the $39 telehealth exam, which everyone does once per calendar year. The nurse sets up the device for a call with an off site nurse practitioner, which takes about five minutes. If they are a member, the exam is complimentary.
Who books an IV for someone else?
Spouses and friends book for each other, and adult children book for an older parent.
Anyone 18 and over can get an IV once the telehealth exam clears them. If the person you are booking for is under 18, first read how old you have to be to get an IV drip.
If you already know what they like, pick it from the drip menu, which lists every drip and its price. If you are not sure, tell us when you book and we will help you choose.
Who pays when you book an IV for someone else?
We take the card of the person who is going to pay, and that's it. It's straightforward.
Drips on the drip menu run $199 to $719. Non members can get 50% off by joining the membership, which is $80 a month with no sign up fee. With one membership, you, your household and friends who book with you pay half price on every IV.
If their building charges the nurse for parking or valet, non members pay what the building charges us. For members, we cover the nurse's parking or valet.
Can you give someone an IV as a surprise or a holiday gift?
Yes, and we'll do it however you want. We've done surprise IVs for people as gifts, and we've done groups as a surprise too. It's very easy for us to do. We just need the information to get them booked.
For a holiday gift, we can do any of these:
A surprise visit, booked under their name at their address
A gift card
An account credit for the person you want to give it to
A personal note on paper to go with it, if that's what you ask for
We're happy to work for you. Tell us how you want it done and we will set it up. Call or text us at 305-998-0047 about a gift card or anything else you have in mind.
For a surprise group, tell us the head count and we will tell you how many nurses that means, just as we do for private events. Groups get large discounts based on the number of guests. They also get a discount on the exam.
Booking an IV for someone else: common questions
Whose name goes on the appointment?
The appointment is booked under the name of the person getting the IV. We also take both names, a phone number and an email for either one of you, and the address for the visit.
Can I fill out the forms for them?
Yes. Either of you can fill them out, as long as whoever fills them out signs to be responsible. A third party signs as a guardian or in a similar role and can't sign under the patient's name. The person getting the IV confirms their consent with the nurse at the appointment.
Can I pay for someone else's IV?
Yes. We take the card of the person who is going to pay, and that's it.
Can I give an IV as a gift?
Yes, we can make it a surprise, set up a gift card, or give the person an account credit. We can also send a personal note on paper if you ask for one. Call or text us at 305-998-0047 to set it up.
