Benefits verification

The care team checks whether your plan is active, whether Spravato is a covered benefit, and whether prior authorization is likely required. This step can also clarify expected copays, coinsurance, deductibles, and whether transportation support may be available.

Prior authorization and records

If authorization is required, the plan may need documentation of diagnosis, prior antidepressant trials, current symptoms, medical necessity, and the certified healthcare setting where treatment will be given. Timing depends on plan response and whether records are complete.

Scheduling treatment

Once clinical fit, coverage, and medication access are clear, treatment can be scheduled at an active location. Patients also receive instructions about arrival, food and drink timing when applicable, monitoring time, and ride-home planning.

Frequently asked questions

Does insurance verification mean Spravato is approved?

No. Verification checks benefits. Prior authorization or additional plan review may still be required.

What if my insurance denies Spravato?

The care team can review the reason for denial and discuss possible next steps, documentation needs, or other treatment options.

What if I change insurance during treatment?

Tell the care team as soon as possible. A new benefits check or authorization may be needed.

Can I start scheduling before all insurance steps are done?

Scheduling depends on clinical review, coverage status, medication access, and location availability.
