​A Note on What These Fees Represent

We believe patients deserve to understand the cost of ketamine treatment before they pick up the phone. Our fees reflect what we believe is the best model to promote safety, individual attention, and psychiatric progress.

 

IV Ketamine with Psychiatric Care — Induction

Our initial IV ketamine treatment series consists of six infusions and six psychiatric appointments with the treating clinician. All medications administered during treatment are included in the fee.

 

Dr. Dull personally conducts the first two treatments. The remaining four are provided by Dr. Dull or Beth Villani. While patients generally have a choice of clinician for these appointments, we cannot guarantee availability and will make every effort to accommodate individual preferences. The total fee depends on which clinician is selected and available for each appointment. The fee for either provider represents a reduced rate to allow a six treatment induction. 

 

Total induction fee range: $3,500–$4,500

 

Regardless of which clinician provides the infusion, Dr. Dull designs and directs all induction treatment parameters, including dosing and duration. Dr. Dull or Beth Villani remains in the room with you, one-to-one, for your individual infusions.​

 

Two Clinical Services Are Provided at Every IV Treatment

Every IV ketamine treatment includes two distinct clinical services. The first is your infusion, with continuous medical and psychiatric monitoring. The second is a separate psychiatric appointment that extends beyond the monitoring and administration of the infusion itself.

​

Depending on clinical need, the psychiatric appointment may include assessing symptoms extending beyond simple rating scales — including mania, obsessions and compulsions, panic, trauma reactions, sleep, appetite, and functioning — as well as starting, adjusting, or stopping other medications. It may also include ordering or reviewing medication levels, metabolic or thyroid studies, and therapeutic interventions drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure and response prevention, and other evidence-based approaches. These assessments become part of your ongoing psychiatric care — either directly with us or, with your authorization, in coordination with your treating provider.

 

Although both services occur on the same treatment day, the infusion and psychiatric appointment are documented and itemized separately on the superbill, each with its own service code and charge. Depending on your plan, out-of-network reimbursement may be available for either or both services. In some plans, reimbursement for the psychiatric appointment may equal or exceed reimbursement for the infusion. Reimbursement depends on your plan and cannot be guaranteed.

 

 

IV Ketamine with Psychiatric Care — Maintenance

Maintenance treatments are scheduled individually when clinically appropriate. Each includes the ketamine infusion and a full psychiatric appointment with the clinician providing the treatment.

 

With Beth Villani — $600 per treatment

With Dr. Dull — $800 per treatment

 

Before Treatment Begins — Ketamine Evaluation

For patients referred by their treating clinician specifically for ketamine treatment, we offer a focused evaluation to determine whether treatment is appropriate and can be provided safely.

​

Dr. Dull: $395 | Beth Villani: $295

​

These 45–60 minute appointments are intended for patients with a well-established diagnosis of a depressive disorder or, in selected cases, OCD or PTSD. These require a referral from the clinician who will continue to manage your overall psychiatric care and medications (if any). The referral should include your diagnosis and relevant treatment history that you and your clinician believe will be helpful in planning your care.

 

Ketamine Evaluations focus on reviewing the established diagnosis and relevant treatment history, assessing the patient's current condition, and identifying medical or psychiatric factors that could make ketamine treatment inappropriate or unsafe, such as problematic substance use, mania, or active psychosis.

 

In Ketamine Evaluations, we do not undertake a comprehensive, independent diagnostic assessment, evaluate psychiatric concerns not directly related to the appropriateness of ketamine treatment, or develop a broader psychiatric treatment plan. Those aspects of your care remain with your referring clinician.

 

Our 90–120 minute Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluations, by contrast, are the standard intake appointments for new patients establishing comprehensive psychiatric care with our practice.

 

If your diagnosis is uncertain, you wish to explore broader psychiatric concerns, or you intend to receive all of your psychiatric care from our practice, a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is the required appointment.
