Official sources reviewed September 8, 2026. Fees and acceptance limits are MFMD policies; legal requirements are identified separately.
01MFMD servicesWhat ongoing governance includes
What ongoing governance includes
MFMD reviews the ordering structure, RN responsibilities, approved service menu, documentation, monitoring, adverse-event response, and clinical suitability of sources and products. Pharmacy and vendor account administration is an optional service; clinical source review is included in governance.
02Before you beginWhat initial setup includes
What initial setup includes
Your practice receives a clinical foundation and individualized protocols for the accepted IV and injection menu: eligibility and hold criteria, ordering and administration roles, consent, monitoring records, emergency procedures, and access for review. NAD+, NR/Niagen®, and individual injections are defined according to the actual product and facility; menu names do not substitute for a clinical protocol.
03Rules and responsibilitiesRN delivery and prescribing are distinct
RN delivery and prescribing are distinct
Florida’s nursing definition includes administering treatments prescribed or authorized by a duly licensed prescriber. An RN’s clinical assessment and nursing judgment do not create independent prescribing authority. MFMD therefore confirms the evaluation and ordering arrangement before accepting an RN-executed program. An account-management fee does not purchase prescribing authority, patient consultations, or a physician’s license for use by the practice.
04Your practiceWellness menu names describe requests, not proven outcomes
Wellness menu names describe requests, not proven outcomes
Names such as Myers’ Cocktail, Beauty & Glow, Recovery, or Longevity help owners identify a proposed menu. They are not guarantees of energy, immunity, detoxification, anti-aging, or disease treatment. MFMD’s wellness infusion program does not include disease-directed treatment protocols. Your business may choose its marketing names; the underlying documents remain specific to the accepted formulation and clinical use.
05Rules and responsibilitiesProduct quality and sterile preparation
Product quality and sterile preparation
Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. FDA specifically warns that food-grade ingredients, including NAD+ ingredients, are not automatically suitable for sterile compounding. MFMD reviews the proposed pharmacy, product information, storage and handling workflow, and relevant safety information before accepting a protocol. Listing an infusion or add-on is not approval of every source or formulation.
06Your teamThe team your practice needs
The team your practice needs
MFMD supports an RN-executed model for aesthetic medicine and IV/injection services within the nurse’s authorized role, with the required patient evaluation, orders, training, and supervision in place. Weight management, BHRT/TRT, and Advanced Peptide Therapy require at least one NP or PA on the facility roster under MFMD’s service model. You may identify a planned APP while estimating; the provider and collaboration arrangements must be confirmed before activation. One APP is included in the base fee. An RN or electrologist does not replace the APP required for Medical Wellness.
07Your investmentHow the fee works
How the fee works
One wellness service group is $1,500/month; both groups together are $2,000/month. Collaboration or supervision for 1 APP is included; each additional APP is $500/month and each electrologist addition is $500/month. Initial setup is $2,000 for one group or $3,000 for both, including the first 30 days of governance. Adding the second group to an accepted existing operation is $1,000; a new procedure protocol within an accepted group is $250. The proposal confirms which setup applies.
08Getting startedFrom your menu to a defined agreement
From your menu to a defined agreement
Enter the facility ZIP, choose the applicable services, and describe your team and existing protocols. Review your estimate before providing contact details. MFMD then reviews the operating facts and documents, confirms the assigned physician, initial on-site assessment, scheduled visits, and any required treatment-day arrangements, and issues the agreed scope and start date. An EMR is required and must be in use with physician access before governance begins. You may complete a planning estimate while choosing the platform; paper-only clinical operations are not accepted. No clinical services begin merely because a form was submitted.
09Optional supportPharmacy and vendor accounts
Pharmacy and vendor accounts
Clinical review of pharmacies, products, and formularies is included. When MFMD participation is needed to establish or maintain up to 2 approved accounts, account setup and administration adds $500/month. The same account-support charge applies to an APP-led Medical Wellness practice or an RN-executed aesthetic/IV practice; it does not change professional authority. For example, weight management plus Advanced Peptide Therapy in one group, with one included APP and account administration, is $2,000/month; initial setup for that group is $2,000. Medication, pharmacy, device, and third-party charges are separate.
10Role separationEvaluation and orders come before RN execution.
Evaluation and orders come before RN execution.
MFMD defines who evaluates the patient, who issues the patient-specific order, what an RN may execute under the approved standing order, and which finding requires a hold or escalation.
11Protocol architectureThe formula—not the marketing name—defines the clinical workflow.
The formula—not the marketing name—defines the clinical workflow.
Each approved solution or injection needs defined ingredients, route, limits, eligibility, contraindications, monitoring, documentation, and a response plan. APP ordering parameters are separated from algorithmic RN instructions.
12ReadinessSupplies, sourcing, storage, and emergencies belong in the same system.
Supplies, sourcing, storage, and emergencies belong in the same system.
Medication controls, inventory and expiration checks, emergency equipment, staff training, adverse-event response, and recurring encounter review are built around the clinic’s actual menu and setting.

Clear answers before the estimate.
The final answer depends on the facility, licensed roster, payer model, and proposed services.
Does an IV therapy clinic need a Medical Director in Florida?
The exact structure depends on ownership, payers, services, and licensed personnel. IV therapy still requires an authorized patient evaluation and order, a properly scoped performer, written clinical controls, and an accountable escalation pathway.
Can an RN independently order IV therapy?
No. An RN administers within nursing scope under an order from an authorized practitioner; the RN does not independently prescribe or decide the medical treatment.
Can the patient evaluation occur by telehealth?
Florida law permits telehealth providers to perform patient evaluations, but the evaluation must meet the same professional standard and be sufficient for the clinical decision. Appropriateness depends on the patient, therapy, risk, and setting.
What should an IV protocol include?
Eligibility, contraindications, approved ingredients and limits, the order pathway, administration steps, monitoring, hold and stop criteria, adverse-reaction response, documentation, and the responsibilities of each licensed role.
What should we submit for a fee estimate?
The location, ownership and payer model, every licensed practitioner, the exact IV and injection menu, who evaluates and orders, whether services are mobile or fixed-site, and whether protocols already exist.
Does an estimate confirm that you can accept my facility?
No. It provides a planning amount from your answers. Acceptance depends on coverage, licensure, professionals, services, and assigned-physician availability. Excluded services are not accepted through an automatic additional charge.
Does MFMD provide direct patient care, legal services, or payer credentialing?
These governance services do not automatically include direct patient care, prescriptions, payer credentialing, AHCA application preparation, or legal representation. MFMD is not a law firm. Statutory duties of an accepted clinic’s director remain in effect, including billing review where applicable.
Who will be the assigned physician?
MFMD confirms a physician according to qualifications, services, location, and availability. Armando A Falcon, MD, is the Founder and CEO; a page or estimate does not promise that he will be every facility’s physician.
