IV iron infusions may be recommended for patients who:
IV iron allows a higher dose of iron to be delivered directly into the bloodstream, helping replenish iron stores and improve symptoms more efficiently than oral supplements.
Note: IV iron prescriptions are filled through our in-house pharmacy partner (or the patient’s preferred pharmacy) and are billed directly to the patient or through the patient’s prescription drug coverage. Patients are responsible for any portion not covered by their insurance. The cost of IV iron administration is separate and will be charged in addition to the prescription. By proceeding, you authorize the provider to order additional laboratory tests, including iron level testing, if required. By submitting this referral, the patient and referring provider consent to being contacted by MedCare Diagnostics via email, fax, text, or phone for appointment scheduling. The patient will be contacted directly with appointment details. MedCare Diagnostics is a facility and office space provider. All medical services, including consultations and testing, are provided independently by licensed healthcare professionals. Referrals do not negatively impact FHO physicians. Same-week appointments are available. Some services may not be covered by OHIP and may require payment by the patient or coverage through private insurance or a Health Spending Account (HSA).
