Does insurance cover KAP treatment?

What is ketamine?
Ketamine is a medication used primarily for anesthesia and pain management. Ketamine can have psychedelic effects and provide mystic experiences. It can act as "fertilizer" for your brain, providing opportunities for you to develop new neural pathways, leading to rapid changes in mentality, perception, and behaviors.
Ketamine is proven safe when taken as prescribed and in a controlled environment.
What can KAP help with?
KAP has been proven to treat PTSD, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, substance use disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, and others. KAP should not be used if you have a history of psychosis as this can exacerbate symptoms. Contact us for further information and clarification.
Do you prescribe ketamine?
SKO Counseling does not prescribe ketamine. However, we have partnered with local prescribers to ensure the highest quality of care is provided to our clients. Payment to prescribers and for ketamine prescriptions are not included in the charge for SKO Counseling KAP services.
