Understanding the cost of Spravato® (esketamine) treatment is an important part of the decision-making process. At Best Life Mental Health & Wellness in Cornelius, NC, we provide REMS-certified Spravato treatment and help patients understand insurance coverage, expected costs, and the treatment process in a medically supervised setting.

Understanding Spravato Treatment Costs

Spravato is a prescription nasal spray medication that is administered in a clinical setting under medical supervision. Treatment costs can vary based on several factors, including insurance coverage, treatment schedule, and individual care plans.

Because Spravato requires in-office administration and post-treatment monitoring, pricing reflects both the medication and the associated clinical services.

Estimated Cost Without Insurance (Office Pricing)

At Best Life Mental Health & Wellness, Spravato treatment costs are based on two components: the medication cost and a per-session clinical service fee.

For patients paying privately, the medication cost is either covered by insurance when applicable or paid out of pocket at the applicable rate. In addition, our office charges a $200 clinical service fee per session.

Our current office pricing:

Clinical service fee: $200 per treatment session
Total clinical service fees for initial treatment (10 sessions): $2,000
Medication cost: Covered by insurance when approved or paid out of pocket if uninsured

Medication pricing may vary based on insurance coverage and pharmacy requirements.

Initial Treatment Schedule and Fees

The initial Spravato treatment phase at our office typically includes 10 sessions scheduled as follows:

Weeks 1–4: Two sessions per week (8 sessions total)
Weeks 5–6: One session per week (2 sessions total)

Each visit includes required clinical monitoring and supervision in accordance with REMS guidelines.

The $200 per-session fee reflects the clinical services and monitoring provided during each visit. The total clinical service cost for the initial treatment phase is $2,000, exclusive of medication costs.

Insurance Coverage and Reimbursement

Many insurance plans may cover the Spravato medication when medical and administrative criteria are met. Coverage varies by plan and is subject to prior authorization and benefit determination.

Depending on the insurance plan, some patients may receive partial reimbursement toward clinical service fees. Reimbursement amounts vary and are determined by the individual insurance provider.

Our team assists with insurance verification and can help review potential reimbursement options; however, coverage and reimbursement cannot be guaranteed.

Important Cost Considerations

Insurance coverage applies primarily to the medication component
The $200 per-session clinical service fee is assessed per visit
Reimbursement for service fees may vary by insurance plan
Final costs depend on individual coverage and benefit design

All pricing information is provided for general informational purposes and is reviewed in more detail during the consultation process.
