What esketamine nasal spray means

Esketamine nasal spray refers to Spravato, a prescription treatment administered under supervision in a certified healthcare setting. It is not a take-home nasal spray, and patients are monitored after dosing before leaving the clinic.

How Medicaid review works

Medicaid coverage depends on eligibility, active benefits, diagnosis, documentation, and prior authorization rules. The care team can review Medicaid or Medicaid Managed Care coverage and explain what information may be needed before treatment can be scheduled.

What the care team may need

  • Insurance card and photo ID.
  • Prior antidepressant treatment history.
  • Current medication list.
  • Relevant psychiatric records when available.
  • Transportation plan for treatment days.
