Spravato Near Me in Hicksville, Long Island | Nao Medical

Nao Medical provides FDA-approved Spravato^® (esketamine) treatment in Hicksville for eligible adults with treatment-resistant depression and certain adults with major depressive disorder with acute suicidal thoughts or actions based on clinical evaluation.

Why patients choose Nao Medical for Spravato in Hicksville

Spravato treatment works best when logistics do not fall apart between evaluation, authorization, dosing, and follow-up. Nao Medical built this program to reduce that friction. Hicksville is a strong option for central Nassau patients who want local access to monitored Spravato treatment close to home.

• Every Spravato patient gets an assigned care manager.
• We help with benefits verification and prior authorization coordination before treatment starts.
• We review commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and New York Medicaid Managed Care plans for eligible patients.
• We can handle psychiatric evaluation, prescribing, and ongoing management in-house, while also coordinating with your outside psychiatrist if you already have one.
• Early, evening, and weekend appointment options are reviewed by location and treatment schedule.
• Transportation coordination may be available when supported by your insurance coverage.

What treatment looks like at our Hicksville Spravato clinic

Treatment starts with a clinical evaluation to confirm whether Spravato is appropriate. Once eligibility and benefits are reviewed, your care team schedules monitored in-office sessions at this location. Patients self-administer the nasal spray under supervision and remain in the clinic for observation after dosing; Spravato is not taken at home.

Your care manager stays involved across the process: helping with prior auth status, first-visit preparation, treatment scheduling, and communication about next steps. If you are already working with a psychiatrist, we can coordinate care rather than forcing you to start over.

Insurance and Medicaid coverage for Spravato in Hicksville

Nao Medical emphasizes access. Eligible patients at our Hicksville location can use Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and many commercial plans for Spravato treatment. That includes New York Medicaid Managed Care plans such as Healthfirst, Fidelis Care, MetroPlus, and United Healthcare Community Plan, along with major plans like Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, EmblemHealth, and others listed on our main Spravato insurance section.

Coverage is still plan-specific, which is why the program includes benefits verification before treatment begins. If you do not know whether your plan covers Spravato, the care team can review likely requirements and help you understand the next step.

Convenient for patients in Long Island

Our Hicksville clinic is located at 232 W Old Country Rd, Hicksville, NY 11801 and serves patients coming from Hicksville, Bethpage, Plainview, Jericho, Syosset, Westbury, and surrounding Long Island communities.

Can I take Spravato at home?

No. Spravato is not an at-home medication. It is administered only in a certified healthcare setting, and patients are monitored after dosing before they are cleared to leave.

Will my blood pressure and side effects be monitored during treatment?

Yes. Spravato treatment involves direct clinical supervision, including monitoring for side effects after dosing. The care team may check blood pressure before treatment and again during the monitored recovery period based on clinical protocols.

How long are Spravato visits and how often do I come in?

Patients typically stay in the clinic for at least two hours after dosing for monitoring. For treatment-resistant depression, many adults start with twice-weekly visits during the first month, then space visits out over time based on response, tolerability, and provider guidance.

Is Spravato the same as ketamine infusion?

No. Spravato is esketamine nasal spray administered under a certified REMS process in a medical setting. Ketamine infusions are different and are often offered off-label by other practices.
