At NeoMedicine Institute in Doral, a single IV ketamine infusion costs $525. A standard induction course is six infusions, so most patients are looking at $3,150 for the initial series. There is no charge for the eligibility call that comes first.
That is the whole answer. The rest of this page explains what sits behind the number, because price alone tells you very little about what you are buying.
What the $525 covers
Each infusion runs about 40 minutes. The dose is set for you rather than pulled from a standard chart, and you are monitored the entire time with EKG, oxygen saturation and blood pressure. Here is how a monitored infusion works, step by step.
Dr. Carlos De La Hoz is a triple board certified physician, in anesthesiology, interventional pain management and regenerative medicine, with more than 15 years of experience using ketamine. He puts it plainly:
“Our goal is not simply to administer an infusion. The goal is individualized, medically supervised treatment.”
You also get a quiet room, headphones and eye coverings. Small things, but they shape the experience more than most people expect. For everything else about the treatment, see the full ketamine therapy page.
What a full course costs
- Eligibility call: free
- Single infusion: $525
- Six-infusion induction course: $3,150
- Maintenance infusions after induction: $525 each, scheduled only if your response calls for it
Induction infusions are usually given once or twice a week. How many you need beyond the initial six depends on how you respond, how well you tolerate treatment, and your clinical circumstances. Nobody can quote you a final number on day one, and any clinic that does is guessing.
What to ask before you pay anyone
Price is the easy question. The one that matters more is who is in the room. Ask any clinic you call who administers the infusion, who monitors you during it, what they are monitoring, and who adjusts the dose if something changes.
At NeoMedicine the answer to all four is the same physician, a board certified anesthesiologist with more than 15 years using ketamine.
What happens before you pay anything
The first step is a free eligibility call. After that, the evaluation covers your diagnosis, treatment history, current medications and any contraindications. If you are still deciding between IV ketamine or Spravato, the evaluation covers that too.
“Patient selection is always going to be extremely important.”
NeoMedicine primarily treats treatment-resistant depression, meaning patients who have tried medications and either partially responded, did not respond, or could not tolerate the side effects. Selected patients with anxiety, PTSD and chronic pain are also evaluated.
If you are not a good candidate, you will be told that on the evaluation, before any money changes hands.
Frequently asked questions
Per infusion. One infusion is one session, roughly 40 minutes of treatment plus monitoring time.
The induction protocol is six infusions, generally once or twice per week. The number of sessions beyond that depends on your response, tolerability and clinical circumstances.
Not necessarily. Your medications are reviewed before treatment starts. Some patients eventually have their regimens adjusted by their prescribing clinician, but stopping psychiatric medication without medical supervision is not recommended.
Ketamine has an established history in anesthesiology, but it is not risk-free. It can affect blood pressure, perception and consciousness, which is why patients are screened carefully and monitored throughout treatment in a clinical setting.
