The Second Infusion is live. Your infusion changed your life. Your second one changes hers.

The Iron Planning Service is a free navigation service for women with iron deficiency. You send one link during the visit. A navigator takes it from there: insurance, funding, scheduling and follow-up, and reports back to your practice.
How referral works
01
During the visit
A templated text from your EHR to the patient, pointing to femfoundation.org/enroll. Nothing else to fill in.
02
Under a minute
She enrolls
Name, date of birth and email. She receives a confirmation that her iron navigation has begun.
03
Nine days, on average
We navigate
Insurance verification, coverage or Foundation funding, scheduling and follow-up, with a named navigator throughout.
What you get back
A confirmation when she enrolls
A note when the infusion is complete
One navigator, one contact, for any question
A note when the infusion is scheduled
Follow-up labs shared with your practice
No paperwork, prior authorizations or callbacks
Clinical thresholds and treatment decisions rest with the treating hematologist. The service does not replace your judgment; it removes the loop between your referral and her infusion.
Who to refer
Menstruating women with symptoms
Fatigue, breathlessness, hair loss, ice craving, restless legs, or a ferritin your lab calls normal.
Pregnant and post-partum patients
Low ferritin at any trimester, or anemia after delivery. IV iron in pregnancy is published, with no adverse pregnancy events across 2,971 infusions.
Anyone who has failed oral iron
Side effects, non-adherence, or no response after three months.
