Looking for ketamine treatment in New Jersey? Start with the one insurance covers.
Spravato is esketamine, a form of ketamine made as a nasal spray and FDA-approved for depression that hasn’t responded to antidepressants. Because it’s approved for depression, most insurance covers it, and most of our patients pay $0 to $40 a treatment.
Two ways to get ketamine for depression.
| Spravato (esketamine) | IV ketamine infusions | |
|---|---|---|
| FDA-approved for depression | Yes | No. Ketamine is approved as an anesthetic; for depression it’s used off-label |
| Insurance | Covered by most plans, with prior authorization | Usually paid out of pocket |
| What you’d typically pay | $0 with NJ Medicaid; up to $40 with commercial insurance after the manufacturer’s savings program | Often $500 to $600 a session |
| How it’s given | Nasal spray you take yourself, in a certified office | An IV started every time, then a drip, in a clinic |
| Monitoring | At least two hours after every dose, under a federal safety program | Set by the clinic |
If antidepressants haven’t worked, you likely qualify.
Spravato is approved for adults whose depression hasn’t responded to at least two antidepressants. That’s the same group most people mean when they look for ketamine treatment.
It works on glutamate, a different system from the serotonin-based medications you’ve probably tried. Check whether you qualify.

What people ask when they’re looking for ketamine.
Is Spravato the same as ketamine?
It’s a form of it. Spravato is esketamine, one half of the ketamine molecule, made as a nasal spray and FDA-approved specifically for depression that hasn’t responded to antidepressants.
Is ketamine therapy covered by insurance in New Jersey?
IV ketamine for depression usually isn’t, because it’s used off-label. Spravato is covered by most insurance, including NJ Medicaid, with a prior authorization that we handle.
How much does ketamine treatment cost in NJ?
IV ketamine infusions are often $500 to $600 a session out of pocket. With Spravato, most of our patients pay $0 with NJ Medicaid or up to $40 a treatment with commercial insurance after the manufacturer’s savings program.
Do you offer IV ketamine infusions?
No. IV ketamine isn’t FDA-approved for depression, it usually costs $500 to $600 a session out of pocket, and it needs an IV. For most people we think Spravato is the better choice, and it’s the one we specialize in.
