Although there is no guarantee that your health insurance will cover the expenses, there are some straightforward steps that can help streamline the process of obtaining reimbursement for your Ketamine Infusions from health insurance companies.
How NeuroMend handles the process:
While Ketamine itself is FDA approved, treatment for depression using Ketamine are not. Given this, insurance companies' policies regarding Ketamine are currently in the process of being shaped. The good news is that your case can help shape policies regarding Ketamine Therapy and IV infusions.
One Ketamine patient gives his testimony to this process. Within one phone call, this patient educated his insurance carrier, Blue Cross Blue Shield, about the success he received from Ketamine treatments, contrasted against previous, unsuccessful treatments. His actions resulted in two of his follow-up Ketamine treatments being refunded by BCBS. Yes, it can be that simple! And it should be.
After all, one study indicates that over 20% of drugs in America are used for non-FDA-approved indications (called "off-label use"), at the discretion of the administering physician for such things as depression and anxiety. And Ketamine Infusions fall within this category.
*Although these insurance companies have approved reimbursement for certain treatments, it is important to note that coverage for your specific treatments is not guaranteed.
