Medication history to prepare

Insurance plans often ask for prior antidepressant treatment history before approving Spravato. Helpful details include medication names, approximate dates, dose ranges, side effects, response, why the medication was stopped, and whether therapy or other treatments were used at the same time.

Records that may help

  • Psychiatry notes or diagnosis documentation.
  • Medication lists from your psychiatrist, primary care clinician, or pharmacy portal.
  • Hospital, intensive outpatient, or partial hospitalization discharge summaries when relevant.
  • Therapy or treatment summaries when available.
  • Prior authorization forms or denial letters if another clinic already tried to start coverage.

Safety details to share

Tell the care team about high blood pressure, heart or vascular history, pregnancy or breastfeeding, substance-use concerns, medication misuse history, sedation risk, breathing concerns, and any prior reaction to ketamine or esketamine.
