How Much Does Spravato Treatment Cost?

It can feel frustrating and overwhelming when your initial attempts at treating major depressive disorder are not successful, but there are still options to consider. Spravto is a nasal spray that can be used to supplement your oral antidepressant. The active ingredient in Spravato, Esketamine, targets different pathways in the brain than those impacted by traditional oral antidepressants. It affects glutamate, a neurotransmitter that impacts learning and memory. Because Spravato is administered as a nasal spray, it can be quickly absorbed. At The Neuropsychiatry & TMS Group, we are dedicated to providing specialized, evidence-based treatment for adults in the Tampa, St. Petersburg and Brandon areas. We can answer your questions related to how Spravato works and how much it costs.

Cost of Spravato

Most insurance providers cover Spravato for treatment-resistant depression and major depressive disorder with suicidal ideation. Depending on your insurance, you can expect to pay around the following for your Spravato treatment:

• Private insurance: $10–$250 per session
• Medicare Part B: 20% coinsurance following deductible
• Medicaid: Low to no cost
• No insurance: $590–$885 per session

Many insurance plans cover Spravato under medical benefits instead of pharmacy benefits. It is important to remain in contact with your insurance provider, since prior authorization is often required and eligibility requirements may be strict.

Number of Treatments

The number of treatments you receive also influences how much Spravato costs. Typically, patients receive twice-weekly treatments for four weeks prior to moving to weekly treatment for four weeks. To continue receiving the benefits of Spravato, you should have maintenance treatments weekly or every other week. Dr. Ahmed will work with you to determine the number of treatments that will be best for you, which will help you determine how much your treatment will cost.
