The coverage of ketamine infusion treatment by insurance companies varies depending on several factors. Insurance policies change from time to time depending on the carrier and plan. Some general factors that can influence whether ketamine infusion treatment is covered by insurance include:
Example: A patient diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) might be eligible for insurance coverage of ketamine infusion treatments. Their insurance provider might require that they have tried and failed to respond to at least two other antidepressant medications before considering ketamine as a covered option. The patient's healthcare provider would need to submit documentation of the patient's diagnosis, treatment history, and medical necessity for ketamine infusion. If approved, the insurance provider may cover the treatment, subject to any copayments, deductibles, or other cost-sharing requirements.
Please consult with your insurance provider and healthcare provider to determine the specific coverage and requirements for ketamine infusion treatment in your case. While this is a rapidly evolving area, ketamine for mental health is generally considered "experimental" by insurers and, therefore, a non-covered service. In some cases, patients with a good PPO and out-of-network benefits may receive partial reimbursement after reaching their deductible and submitting claims for reimbursement.
