FAQs

1. Am I eligible for ketamine therapy?

Eligibility for ketamine therapy is determined through a comprehensive screening process and a medical intake with Dr. Farzin. This ensures that ketamine therapy is safe and appropriate for your specific needs. Only after this evaluation will you be cleared for treatment. Please note that there is no guarantee of receiving ketamine until this process is complete.

2. Does insurance cover the cost of ketamine therapy?

Our program is currently out-of-pocket, and insurance may not cover the costs. However, we provide an itemized bill that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. We recommend checking with your provider to understand your coverage options.

The number of ketamine treatments varies depending on individual needs.
