Unfortunatly this issue does not surprise me. Some doctors just want you in asap to make the money. Sorry to be negative
If that is how they run there ketamine program I would not entertain that facility for 1 moment.

You can get Ketamine covered. Everything I had done was covered by insurance and when I had my boosters with Dr. Schwartzman he was in-network. The only out of pocket was any co-insurance, I have a PPO type plan, and a small payment directly to the doctor for his 3 to 4 times a day daily visits to my room which the insurance would not cover, but it was not any crazy amount and I did see him 3 or 4 times each day.

I just think it's very irresponsible of this doctor. To me he only wants the dollars. And I have never heard of "cash up front", maybe if I'm buying a car and trying to make a deal. It's puzzling to me.
