How We Collect Data

Our approach to sourcing, verifying, and maintaining clinic listings and pricing information.

Clinic Listings

IV Therapy Compare maintains a database of IV therapy and hydration clinics across the United States. Clinics are identified through a combination of sources: publicly available business registrations, Google Business listings, direct clinic submissions, and ongoing research by our data team.

We include a clinic in our directory when we can verify the following minimum criteria:

  • The business offers IV therapy or hydration drip services as a primary or significant service
  • A verifiable physical address or confirmed mobile service area exists
  • Contact information (phone or website) can be confirmed as active

Clinics that cease operating or cannot be verified as active are marked inactive and removed from search results. If you believe a listing is incorrect, please contact us at data@ivtherapycompare.com.

Pricing Data

Pricing is the core of what we do. We collect pricing through three channels, listed in order of reliability:

1. Claimed listings (highest reliability)

Clinic owners who claim their listing through our business portal enter and maintain their own pricing directly. This data is the most accurate and up-to-date, as it comes directly from the provider. Claimed listings are marked in our directory.

2. Publicly published pricing (moderate reliability)

Many clinics publish their pricing on their own website or social media. Our data team researches and records this pricing where it can be found and verified. We note the date of collection and flag prices that have not been verified recently.

3. Reported pricing (lowest reliability)

In some cases, pricing is reported by customers or sourced from third-party platforms. We treat this data with lower confidence and flag it accordingly. We never fabricate or estimate pricing figures.

Where a clinic's pricing is unknown, we display no price rather than estimate one. Price transparency only has value if the prices are real.

Ratings & Reviews

Clinic ratings displayed on IV Therapy Compare are aggregated from publicly available review platforms, including Google. We do not host or solicit reviews directly on our platform. Ratings reflect the aggregate score from the source platform at the time of our last data update.

We do not allow clinics to pay to have negative reviews removed or to inflate their ratings. If you believe a rating shown on our platform is materially incorrect, please contact us and we will investigate.

Treatment Content

Treatment descriptions, benefit summaries, and informational content on our treatment pages are written by our editorial team and reviewed for clinical accuracy by licensed nursing professionals prior to publication.

Our treatment content is educational and descriptive only. It explains what a given IV therapy treatment contains, what it is commonly used for, and what the typical cost range is — based on real pricing data from our directory. It is not a clinical recommendation, and we do not make claims about medical efficacy beyond what is established in mainstream clinical practice.

Medical disclaimer: Treatment pages on IV Therapy Compare are for informational purposes only and do not constitute medical advice. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider before beginning any IV therapy treatment.

Data Freshness

Clinic data is reviewed on a rolling basis. Claimed listings are updated in real time by clinic owners. Unclaimed listings are reviewed periodically by our data team. Pricing data that has not been verified within the past 12 months is flagged as potentially outdated.

IV therapy pricing can change. We encourage clinic owners to claim their listing and keep their pricing current. If you are a consumer and notice pricing that appears significantly out of date, please let us know.

Ranking & Ordering

Clinics are not ranked by how much they pay us — there is no advertising or sponsored placement system. Search results are ordered by a combination of:

  • Whether the listing has been claimed and is actively maintained
  • Completeness of listing information (pricing, hours, services)
  • User rating and review count
  • Recency of last data update

Corrections & Disputes

If you are a clinic owner and believe your listing contains inaccurate information, the fastest resolution is to claim your listing and update it directly. For data disputes or general corrections, contact our data team at data@ivtherapycompare.com.
