Hi Roslynn!I'll try responding again - I submitted a reply the other day, but it mysteriousy never appeared!
I have an awesome forward-thinking psychiatrist that stays informed on the latest treatment developements!
I had been discussing the IV Ketamine treatment I had been reading about & researching, when he told me a few months ago to stay tuned in - there was a new drug coming out on the market soon. That was Spravato (esketamine).
He has a very traditional office setting in an older converted house. Very relaxing vibe. He's created a special room with a very comfortable recliner chair, white noise machine, and WiFi to play your tunes.
Both he and his certified staff are there to monitor the treatment.
Very satisified with the setup.
My insurance turned the treatment down, but he did the legwork and got me approved thru the Jansen CarePath Program, which allows me to pay only a small co-pay (suppossed to be $10).
I pay $300 out-of-pocket for each 2-hour office visit - I plan to submit those bills to my insurance company.Hope this helps!
Rudy
