Iron deficiency is common — and often overlooked
Iron deficiency is incredibly common yet frequently overlooked, underdiagnosed, or misinterpreted. Many women and men have depleted iron stores from heavy menstrual bleeding, pregnancy, blood donation, gastrointestinal disorders, prior surgery, inadequate dietary intake, poor absorption, endurance athletics, or other medical conditions.
Others simply cannot tolerate oral iron because of constipation, nausea, or abdominal pain — and some patients medically benefit from more rapid iron repletion. Persistent fatigue, restless legs, exercise intolerance, hair loss, or brain fog can all be related to low iron, yet many patients wait months to be seen. This program is designed to educate patients and provide physician-directed treatment based on medical necessity.
Cash-pay iron infusions in Los Angeles
Misra Wellness offers physician-supervised IV iron in person at our Los Angeles office at 18740 Ventura Blvd, Suite 204 — convenient for patients across the San Fernando Valley, including Tarzana, Encino, Woodland Hills, Reseda, and Sherman Oaks, and the greater Los Angeles area.
The program is cash-pay, with transparent pricing and no insurance authorization to wait on. You can self-refer or be referred by your physician. Every plan is evaluated, dosed, and monitored by Dr. Sulagna Misra, MD, a board-certified internal medicine physician — iron infusions here are physician-directed, not a walk-in drip bar.
Symptoms that can point to low iron

Getting winded or drained more easily than expected.

Increased shedding or thinning tied to low iron stores.

Iron infusion: common questions
Can I get an iron infusion without a referral?
Yes. You can self-refer or come by physician referral. A physician consultation and the required iron labs are completed before treatment so Dr. Misra can confirm you are an appropriate candidate and calculate your iron deficit.
Why do I need labs through Misra Wellness?
Dr. Misra needs a specific set of iron labs to evaluate you and calculate your iron deficit, and routine lab work often does not include all of them. Non-DPC patients complete the required labs ($99) through Misra Wellness before the physician consultation. If you are referred by a Direct Primary Care physician, qualifying labs completed within the previous 30 days may be submitted instead — Dr. Misra coordinates with your DPC physician.
Where are infusions performed?
At our Los Angeles, California office. The iron infusion program is currently available in Los Angeles only; it is not yet offered in New York.
How much does an iron infusion cost in Los Angeles?
The initial physician consultation is $350 for an outside or self-referral, $149 with a Direct Primary Care physician referral, and included for current Misra Wellness DPC patients. Required iron labs are $99 and separate from the consultation fee. Treatment programs start at $999 for the Essential program (five infusions — under $200 per infusion), $1,499 (Accelerated), and $4,999 (Rapid), and do not include the consultation or labs.
Are the lab and consultation fees refundable?
No. The lab and consultation fees are paid together, are nonrefundable, and do not guarantee eligibility for treatment. If the required labs are not completed within 30 days, or the results are no longer current, the fees are not refunded or credited. Once your iron formulation and dose are selected, the medication is ordered for you and the treatment fee is also nonrefundable.
What if Dr. Misra finds something that needs further evaluation?
If your labs or evaluation point to another cause of anemia, inflammation, active disease, or micronutrient issues, you will need further workup with your primary care physician or an appropriate specialist before treatment can proceed. If you do not have a primary care physician, you can become a Misra Wellness DPC patient or book à la carte visits, depending on availability.
Can I come back later if treatment is not recommended now?
Yes. Reconsideration requires a new consultation and complete lab results from the preceding 30 days, and the applicable fees are paid again, because your medical status or medications may have changed.
Is everyone a candidate for IV iron?
No. Intravenous iron is not appropriate for everyone — for example, people with certain chronic heart conditions or chronic kidney disease. Candidacy is determined during your physician evaluation.
Does insurance cover this?
No. Misra Wellness is cash-pay only and does not bill insurance or provide superbills.
What happens after treatment?
You return to your referring physician after completing treatment, and follow-up recommendations are sent to them.
