Mobile infusion clinics are popping up everywhere across Texas because they sit right where luxury, beauty, and health meet. If you are an entrepreneur looking for a fresh venture or a medical professional who wants to work for themselves, you should understand how these businesses work. Doris Dike and the team at Dike Law Group in Dallas help people handle the legal side of these startups so they can focus on their clients. You need to know about the different kinds of infusions you can offer and what specific Texas licenses you have to get before you open your doors.

Categories of Mobile IV Services

You can change what you offer based on the people you want to serve in your specific city. Providing different types of drips allows you to reach specific groups of people through your Texas LLC, depending on their health goals.

• Hydration Therap services often include ingredients like Vitamin C, Glutathione, B-complex, and Taurine to serve health-conscious people with packed schedules.
• Aesthetic improvement drips use Vitamin C, Biotin, and Glutathione to appeal to spa guests, social media creators, and beauty experts looking for a glow.
• Immunity Boost help infusions combine Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Zinc, and Magnesium for professionals who travel often or those who get sick easily.

Even though some of these drips use the same nutrients, you will change the amounts to fit what the person needs. Once you decide which path your Texas business will take, you have to look at the legal rules, which can get a little complicated if you do not have a lawyer helping you.

Establishing an IV Therapy LLC in Texas

You cannot just start driving around and giving IVs without the right business structure and state licenses. Most people choose to form a limited liability company because it protects your personal money and is not too hard to manage.

Texas follows something called the Corporate Practice of Medicine Doctrine, which says that only licensed doctors can own a medical practice. Because mobile IV therapy is considered a medical act, doctors usually have to start a professional LLC, or PLLC, to run the business. However, if you are not a doctor, there are still ways for you to be part of this industry.

Running an IV Business Without a Medical License

The laws in Texas are strict because the state wants to make sure doctors are the ones making medical decisions for patients. This prevents a regular business owner from putting profits over the safety of the person getting the IV.

If you are not a physician, you would usually set up a business called a management service organization, or MSO. This is just a regular LLC or corporation that handles things like rent, marketing, and payroll rather than the actual medical treatments. Your LLC would then sign a contract with a doctor who has their own professional company to handle the medical side of the work.

This setup is held together by a management service agreement, which is a contract that explains exactly what the business owner does and what the doctor does. By having a doctor licensed by the Texas Medical Board in charge of the clinical side, you can legally run your company even if you never went to medical school.

Forming a Texas LLC

An LLC is great for small businesses because it keeps your personal house and bank account safe if the business gets sued.

You can set up your company by following these four parts:

• Pick a name – Your name must be unique in Texas and end with the words Limited Liability Company or the letters LLC. You should also grab a website domain name that matches your business name so people can find you online.
• Appoint a registered agent – You need a person or a company in Texas who can receive official legal papers for you. You must have this person picked out before you send any paperwork to the state.
• File with the Secretary of State – You have to send in a document called a Certificate of Formation and pay a $300 fee. If you are a doctor, you will file a version specifically for professional companies.
• Get a tax ID – After the state approves your LLC, you apply for an EIN from the IRS. This acts like a social security number for your company and lets you open a bank account.

You also need an operating agreement which is a private document that explains who owns the company and what happens if someone wants to leave the business.

Getting Insured

Because you are dealing with needles and medical fluids, you must have insurance to protect your staff and your money. Even though the Texas Medical Board does not force every doctor to have malpractice insurance, almost everyone gets it anyway.

Many buildings or event spaces will not let you set up your mobile clinic unless you can show them proof of insurance. The Texas Department of Insurance offers help for people trying to find the right coverage for a medical company. Dike Law Group can also look over your contracts to make sure you are not taking on more risk than you should.
