Prescribing

Who can prescribe Spravato?

Spravato can be prescribed by a licensed prescriber working with a treatment center certified under the Spravato REMS program. Because it has to be given and monitored in a certified office, the simplest path is to reach out to us directly. Your evaluation happens by video from home, and one team handles the prescription, the insurance approval and every treatment. Why it's only given in certified offices.

Who qualifies

If two antidepressants haven't worked for you, you qualify.

Spravato is FDA-approved for adults whose depression hasn't responded to at least two antidepressants. If that's your history, it's exactly what the treatment is for. It works on the brain's glutamate signalling, a different system from the antidepressants you've already tried. Check if you qualify.

Insurance

How do you get Spravato covered by insurance?

We get Spravato covered for you. Our evaluations capture what insurers usually ask for, so 95% of our requests are approved the first time. When one is denied, we always request a peer-to-peer review, always file a second-level appeal if that fails, and always go to independent external review if the appeal fails. In our most recent internal review, 34 of 36 denials were overturned. Most patients pay $0 to $40 a treatment. Cost and insurance.
