Rethinking Iron Deficiency
Most of us were trained to treat disease states, not to screen for the quiet depletion that precedes one.
Non-anemic iron deficiency (low ferritin) rarely shows up on a standard lab panel, so unless ferritin is specifically ordered, it’s easy to miss, even in patients with real, disabling symptoms.
Guidelines are shifting for good reason: the ferritin level where patients actually feel better is often well above a lab’s “normal” cutoff.
We’d love to be a resource, for your referrals, or simply as support as you help your patients feel like themselves again.
If you don’t know the specifics of how to order an iron infusion, we’ve got you covered. Hop on a call or submit/fax over a referral form and we will take care of the rest.

Why Refer To The Fern
Referring a patient means trusting they'll be cared for. We built The Fern around that trust. Here's what you can expect:
Physician-led clinical oversight.
Every infusion at The Fern is ordered by a licensed physician or NP and administered by a registered nurse. We have a crash cart, emergency protocols, and anaphylaxis response capability on site.
We have special protocols for sensitive/MCAS patients.
Same-week appointments.
We will treat your patient ASAP.
Clinical notes back after every visit.
After every infusion, if you’d like, we send a visit summary to your office — IV product administered, dose, patient tolerance, vital signs, any reactions, and next steps.
No insurance prior authorization required.
We are a private-pay practice. There are no prior authorization requests, no denials because your patient’s hemoglobin isn’t low enough, no appeals.
