Almost all insurance providers will cover Spravato™ if they deem the treatment the patient to meet the criteria for treatment. We pre-authorize every patient before treatment to ensure they will know the cost ahead of time. Patients with private health insurance can apply for a Janssen’s CarePath Account, which could result in co-pays as little as $10 for each treatment.
Spravato was developed because of the promising scientific results IV Ketamine infusions have shown in treating Major Depressive Disorder. It only contains S-Ketamine, while IV Ketamine infusions include a mixture of S-Ketamine and R-Ketamine. For a more detailed comparison see: Spravato Vs. Ketamine
