We recognize that financial barriers can make it difficult for some patients to access and benefit from KAP. We encourage you to explore the following options.
1. Understand Your Cost:
Use our quick cost calculator to get a personalized estimate based on your insurance, chosen KAP modality, and treatment plan.
Estimate your total KAP cost here.
2. In-Network and Out-of-Network Insurance Benefits:
Journey Clinical is in-network with a growing list of insurance providers. If you have in-network coverage, your intake and follow-up medical appointments will be covered by insurance. You’ll only be responsible for the cost of the medication and any applicable copay or coinsurance.
If we are not currently in-network with your plan, your KAP treatment may still be eligible for reimbursement, often up to 60–80%, if you have out-of-network benefits. See this article for more details, including how to determine your out-of-network coverage and request a superbill for reimbursement.

3. If you do not already have a Journey Clinical Member Therapist, we'll pair you with one who accepts your insurance.
There are two sets of costs to be aware of:
-
Journey Clinical medical appointment costs and medication
-
Psychotherapy session costs (read more about both here)
Even if Journey Clinical is not in-network for your medical appointments, we can match you with a therapist who accepts your insurance for psychotherapy sessions (for prospective patients who are not already working with a Journey Clinical Member Therapist).
Working with an in-network therapist can significantly reduce the overall cost of KAP.
4. Psycholytic (low-dose) KAP
Psycholytic therapy uses low doses of ketamine to support psychotherapy. While standard ketamine doses typically facilitate a quiet, inward experience, psycholytic doses enable you to continue conversing with your therapist throughout the dosing session.
-
Because the duration of a psycholytic therapy session is typically shorter (about 1.5–2 hours) compared to a standard dissociative dosing session (about 2–3 hours), the overall out-of-pocket cost is reduced and may be eligible for insurance coverage. Additionally, since psycholytic dosing allows therapists and clients to remain engaged and conversational throughout the session, integration work may require less time and can often take place on the same day, following dosing.
- While standard dissociative dosing is typically recommended by our Medical Team, psycholytic sessions can be a promising therapeutic and cost-effective option for some patients.
Please note that not all therapists offer psycholytic dosing sessions. If you’re interested, we encourage you to speak with your therapist to see if they support psycholytic (low-dose) sessions and to discuss how this approach may help improve the affordability of treatment. If you don’t yet have a therapist, we can match you with one who offers psycholytic dosing sessions.
5. Self-Guided Dosing Sessions or Group Dosing Sessions:
In addition to individual (one-on-one) KAP sessions, Journey Clinical also supports self-guided and group KAP modalities.
- Self-guided dosing sessions involve your therapist checking in with you before and after you self-administer ketamine, but your therapist does not stay with you (physically or virtually) for the duration of the dosing session. This reduces the cost of the dosing session. You will need to have a chaperone physically present with you for the duration of the dosing session, and you will still record your vitals. We require that you have an integration session with your therapist between each dosing session.
- Group KAP can be a powerful modality for healing in community and can reduce the overall cost of KAP. For group dosing sessions — which can take place in-person or virtually — you will join with other KAP clients. At least one Journey Clinical therapist is present for every 4 client participants. Some therapists lead group preparation & integration therapy sessions before and after the group dosing sessions, while other therapists offer individual integration & preparation sessions, and group dosing sessions.
Please note that not all therapists offer self-guided or group KAP modalities. We encourage you to speak with your therapist to learn more about the modalities they provide and what might be the best fit for you. If you don’t yet have a therapist, we can match you with one who supports self-guided or group dosing sessions.
6. Sliding Scale:
If you’re working with a Journey Clinical therapist who offers a sliding scale, you can discuss and confirm this arrangement directly with them. Once agreed upon, Journey Clinical will coordinate with your therapist to determine an adjusted cost based on what you can afford.
To learn more, please contact us at patient-support@journey.clinic.
7. Veteran Discount:
If you are a veteran, Journey Clinical is proud to offer a discount on medical appointments and medication.
