Infusion Add-Ons
We are now offering IV vitamin infusion add-ons in clinic! These IV vitamins are specifically recommended for HG patients by the HER Foundation and Dr. Housholder. Dr. H also has a infusion blend specifically for patients struggling with iron deficiency anemia.
Cancellation Fees: If you need to reschedule, we ask that you let us know 24 hours in advance to avoid a $20 cancellation or no-show fee.
Commercial Insurance: You will be billed for your visit with us approximately 8 weeks after your appointment. This is the time it takes for your insurance to process your claim and respond to tell us how much you will owe. You will get a bill from us if you haven't met your deductible, have coinsurance or if your insurance denies any portion of your claim.
Illness Policy: It can be devastating for our HG patients to contract contagious illnesses such as flu, covid or the stomach bug. Therefore, if you’ve had fever, chills, cold symptoms or viral stomach bug symptoms, please refrain from making an appointment in our clinic until your contagious symptoms pass. HG symptoms are relentless and last for weeks and months. If you’ve only been throwing up a day or two, you likely have the stomach bug.
Appointment times: Please allow 2-3 hours for your first treatment. Please see What to Expect and our Policies prior to booking an appointment.
Infuvite: Medicaid doesn't cover an important Medicine we give via IV to our especially sick patients. This medicine is commonly called a 'banana' bag or Infuvite. Commercial insurances such as BCBS, VIVA, UHC, etc also sometimes do not cover this medication. If you have any questions about the necessity of this medication or the cost, please ask at your appointment.
If you have any concern about how much you might owe, let us know and we can send you the treatment codes that you can use to call your insurance and ask.
Clinic Hours: We are open for infusions M-F with extended hours on Wednesday evening. Closed on major holidays.
Insurance: We are in network with most major insurers, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, United, Multiplan, and Medicaid of Alabama insurances.
We only take BCBS and Medicaid for iron infusions. We are not a provider in BCBS’s High Performance Plan. If you don’t see your insurance listed, please call us.

“I recently did a Telehealth appointment with Dr. Housholder at the Morning Sickness Clinic… I was able to take his recommendations, which he also faxed, to my OB and she has followed it exactly. I got all of the meds he recommended and he even caught a probable cause of some heart related stuff that happened my last pregnancy and probably prevented it from happening again. I am so grateful a place like this exists. I will always have HG with my pregnancies, but this is the first time I have felt like someone actually knows what I am experiencing and can help. I could not recommend this place more and have told everyone I know about it!! Thank you Dr. H and the team at the HG Clinic!”
