Patients can choose among several very different treatment models. The important question is not simply “which ketamine clinic is best?” but which treatment model fits your insurance, budget, location, and desired level of clinical support.
| Option | How it generally works | Insurance picture |
|---|---|---|
| IV ketamine | Ketamine is administered intravenously in a clinical setting. | Psychiatric IV ketamine is generally off-label and frequently self-pay. |
| Spravato | FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray administered under supervision in a certified healthcare setting. | Major insurers have published authorization pathways, but member-specific coverage varies. |
| KAP | Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy combines medication with structured therapy/integration. | Medical, medication, and psychotherapy charges may be handled separately. |
| At-home ketamine | Eligible patients receive clinician-supervised telehealth care with prescribed ketamine used at home. | Often self-pay. |
providers publish pricing in different formats: per infusion, required induction courses, intake fees, packages, medical evaluations, medication charges, and psychotherapy fees. That is why Ketamine Compass uses more than a single “price per session” field when ranking options.
Treatment distinctions are based on current FDA and provider information. Spravato is FDA-approved for specified depressive indications, while ketamine itself is not FDA-approved for psychiatric disorders. FDA
