Some insurances don't want to pay for ketamine for example since transdermal application is not FDA approved. Right now compounding pharmacies are under investigation for making products with no data to support safety and efficacy. So if your insurance requires this data, you may have to pay out of pocket.
The only way to know for sure is to contact them about eligibility.
This is what I'm fearful of but the doctor said our insurance would cover it, so I'm trying to have faith in him and feel like he knows what he's talking about, but when insurance is involved, it seems any excuse they can find, they'll use to not cover something.
