Injectafer
What is Injectafer?
Please note that due to a nationwide saline shortage, iron infusions are only available at select Pure Infusion Suites locations. Talk to your referring specialist or Patient Access Coordinator for more info.
Injectafer is an iron replacement prescribed to those suffering from iron deficiency anemia (IDA).
Anemia occurs when the body fails to produce healthy red blood cells due to a lack of iron in the body, preventing oxygen from being carried to different tissues throughout the body.
Anemia is easily corrected by taking iron. Oral supplements are available, but often the iron in them is not fully absorbed by the body. As an infusion, injectafer ensures that all of the iron reaches your bloodstream.

Injectafer Cost
Injectafer cost can vary depending on several factors including insurance status and insurance provider. At Pure Infusion Suites, we are committed to lowering costs and improving access for our patients. Our team of patient access coordinators are here to set you up for success.
We work with a growing list of insurance providers, and are always working to ensure claims/authorizations are processed efficiently. All patients are enrolled in co-pay assistance programs to assist in covering costs of treatment.
Additionally, data from an Artemetrx report shows average costs at an outpatient hospital facility are more than 3X higher than costs at an ambulatory infusion center. That means we save our patients’ money, while offering a more comfortable experience!
What to Expect During Your Infusion
Before your infusion, it is important to drink plenty of water and come to your appointment hydrated. Additionally, you must alert us as soon as possible to any changes in your insurance to ensure that we are still an in-network provider for your infusion therapy.
- Your dedicated Infusion nurse will check your vitals and review your medical history to check for improvements or potential side effects of your infusion therapy.
- Your nurse will begin your infusion and check in on you periodically during your treatment.
