About Alive IV and Wellness

What is Alive IV and Wellness?

Alive IV and Wellness is a cash pay clinic at 15160 NW Laidlaw Rd #222 in Portland, Oregon 97229, reachable at 971-801-0001. Its main work is nutrient IV therapy, with injections and vitamin shots alongside it. The full service list is IV and injection therapy, ketamine therapy, medical weight loss, vitamin shots, NAD+, phosphatidylcholine and glutathione. It says it serves Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Gresham and surrounding areas, but its only street address is the Portland office. It is open Tuesday to Friday from 10am to 5:30pm and Saturday from 10am to 2pm, and it is closed Sunday and Monday. Google shows it as a medical clinic with a rating of 5 from 178 reviews.

The medical weight loss program uses semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, or tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Mounjaro, given as a weekly injection at home or in the office. The first visit covers your health history, a physical exam, your weight, and labs that can be drawn in the office. A typical program starts at 12 weeks. In its own words: "We hold your hand through our medical weight loss program using semaglutide/ozempic injections." The program is described as physician supervised, but no prescriber is named.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, for the weight loss program, IV visits or injections. The only cost it puts forward is a free consultation. It does not bill insurance. In its own words: "we are unable to bill insurances but can provide a superbill that includes medical insurance codes that you may submit to your insurance." Whether your plan pays anything back on that superbill is up to your plan. It does not say whether the medication is included in a program fee, what a full program costs, or whether financing, a membership or a cancellation fee applies.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who prescribes the semaglutide or tirzepatide, and whether that person sees you at the start and through the program. Ask whether a monthly fee includes the medication, and whether the drug is brand name or compounded, since the clinic names Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro without saying which it uses. Ask what labs, follow up visits and nutrient injections cost, and whether they are billed separately, since the weight loss program mentions nutrient injections alongside the medication. Ask what happens after the first 12 weeks and how cancellation works. Ask whether any part of the program can be done by video, because telehealth is not mentioned. Ask what counts as a significant medical issue, since the weight loss program cannot take people who are insulin dependent diabetic or who have significant medical issues.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in person care in Portland, you can pay cash, and you will ask who prescribes before you book. It is not a match if you need the clinic to bill your insurer, or if you are insulin dependent diabetic or have a significant medical issue.
