How To Get Spravato’s Subsidy of $8,150

No matter which ketamine treatment you choose (IV ketamine infusion, injection, or the esketamine nasal spray), whether you’re 100% self-pay or have insurance, your out-of-pocket costs are going to run into the thousands ($3,000 to $10,000 or more).

If you have that kind of money, you should self-pay for IV infusions. They’re three times more effective than the nasal spray, deliver faster and more consistent relief with fewer side effects, allow for tailored dosing, and have a far lower dropout rate among patients. And in the long run, they’re cheaper.

If you don’t have that kind of money laying around, your best option (assuming you have commercial insurance) is the esketamine nasal spray if you can qualify for the manufacturer’s subsidies. Fortunately, it’s pretty easy to qualify.

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Ketamine IV infusion is 3x more effective than Spravato. It was my first choice but it wasn’t even on the table. I simply didn’t have the money. Spravato, the esketamine nasal spray, seemed like the next best option since my insurance covered it—or so I thought. My out-of-pocket costs for Spravato were actually higher than paying for IV infusions entirely on my own! I felt trapped, shut out of treatment, until a friend mentioned the Spravato subsidy program.

The program covers up to $8,150 per calendar year, and with my insurance and the subsidy combined, I ended up paying almost nothing for my entire course of treatment. What had felt impossible suddenly became manageable, and with it, a path to healing.
