Ketamine Therapy Cost, Pricing and Insurance Coverage Options
Mental health care shouldn’t feel confusing or out of reach.
At Keta Medical Center, we strive to make ketamine therapy accessible and affordable.
How much does ketamine therapy cost?
Spravato is covered by insurance and we accept most commercial insurance plans and Medicare. Your out-of-pocket costs depend on your specific plan but most Keta Medical patients pay only $0-$50 per visit for Spravato treatment. The induction phase includes eight sessions over four weeks, followed by optimization and maintenance sessions, and is covered by most insurance plans.
IV ketamine infusions are not covered by insurance and cost $500 per infusion. The induction period consists of six infusions over the course of three weeks, with booster sessions as needed after that.
