Step 2: Your Treatment Plan
IV Ketamine Treatment Cost:
Membership Fee: All 1 hour ketamine infusions require a $250 membership fee per treatment. This fee is billed through a separate LLC, North Idaho Ketamine and Wellness, and covers services that insurance will not cover such as private rooms, monitoring, additional support and prolonged appointment times.
-
Private Pay (No Insurance): Discounted rate of $200 per treatment. $200 + $250 = $450 total
-
Insurance: You are responsible for any copays and deductibles + membership fee = $250 up front fee + any copays or deductibles from insurance carrier.
*Note: in the past we provided a reimbursement program, however this created confusion. The average reimbursement was around $200, which is how we arrived at our price structure. While some people were receiving a larger refund and are disappointed with these changes, others received no refund and are very happy.
Step 3: Follow Up
We encourage you to schedule a follow-up visit with our doctor and/or therapist when you: complete your initial six infusions (induction phase) and/or between sessions 12-24 of TMS.
Your response to treatment is unique, a follow-up for ketamine treatment allows us to:
-
Assess how you're feeling after the induction phase.
-
Address any questions or concerns you have.
-
Discuss whether maintenance (booster) infusions or other therapies are recommended to you.
-
Create a personalized plan to help maintain your progress.
