Please comment if you know anywhere I can get an infusion out of pocket for a reasonable price

My ferritin is 18. It’s been below 30 for years. I tried supplementing for a long time and even worked with a dietitian. Not only did I not have much luck raising my levels, but I also get horrible constipation from the supplements and it’s really uncomfortable. I refuse to live like that anymore and I am trying to get an infusion. Both of the clinics I’ve reached out to so far need a referral from a pcp (I don’t have one) or proof that you’re anemic. I’m not anemic I just have low iron and am very much symptomatic (air hunger, exercise intolerance, hair loss, etc). I’ve started looking into iv companies where I can just buy infusions because I’m so desperate at this point, but the only one near me costs $900 for 200mg. Please let me know about any places in the US where I can get infusions for less. I would consider traveling. For example I saw someone say she knew a place in Denton TX where it costed 375. I am so miserable I don’t know what to do please help.
