Standard pathway:

- Infusion ($300 + medication cost)
Option 3: Your Family Provider Manages Care
If your family provider is taking responsibility for diagnosing, ordering the medication, and managing your follow-up, they can refer you directly for the infusion.
The pathway:
- Your family provider completes the Care& IV Iron Order Sheet and faxes it to Care&
- You book your infusion appointment ($300 + medication cost)
For referring providers: submit the Care& IV Iron Order Sheet through our referral portal.
