- Koszt i finansowanie (status wg rejestru)Na stronie placówki nie ma opublikowanych cen. Praktyka podaje, że ponieważ ketamina nie jest w Szwajcarii zarejestrowana w depresji, ubezpieczenie podstawowe (Grundversicherung) jej nie pokrywa: leczenie zlecone przez psychiatrę prowadzącego wykonywane jest dla samopłacących, a pacjenci z ubezpieczeniem dodatkowym mogą wnioskować u ubezpieczyciela o udział w kosztach. W przypadku esketaminy w aerozolu wskazanie musi ustalić psychiatra prowadzący i złożyć u ubezpieczyciela wniosek o zgodę na pokrycie kosztów (Kostengutsprache).

O tej placówce
The KetaminTherapieZentrum is a service of SchmerzMedizinLuzern, a pain medicine practice in Lucerne led by Dr. med. Patrick Willimann. Drawing on more than ten years of experience with ketamine in pain therapy and anesthesia-trained medical and nursing staff, it treats chronic pain and severe depression with intravenous ketamine and is certified for administering intranasal esketamine (Spravato), approved in Switzerland since 2020 as a third-line treatment for severe depression.

It additionally offers stellate ganglion blocks for PTSD and tDCS for depression and pain, with day-clinic care in the practice and inpatient treatment available at Hirslanden Klinik St. Anna.

Częste pytania
Does insurance pay for ketamine against depression here?
No. The practice states that because ketamine is not approved in Switzerland for treating depression, the basic insurance does not cover the costs. If the treatment is prescribed by the treating psychiatrist it can be carried out for self-payers, and patients with supplementary insurance can apply to their insurer for a cost contribution.
What about esketamine (Spravato) coverage?
The treating psychiatrist must establish the indication and file the cost approval request with the insurer. Conditions include a diagnosis of treatment-resistant depression and unsuccessful use of at least two antidepressants from two different classes at sufficient dose and duration.
How do I get treated - can I refer myself?
For depression treatments the indication must come from the treating psychiatrist, and the practice offers to answer psychiatrists' questions directly (041 500 73 20 / schmerzmedizin@hin.ch). For pain conditions the practice runs its own consultation with physician referral and self-referral routes.
Is treatment outpatient or inpatient?
Treatments are outpatient at the practice, complemented by day-clinic care in the practice and, where needed, inpatient treatment at Hirslanden Klinik St. Anna.
How does an esketamine course typically run?
Therapy usually starts with two sessions per week for four weeks, with intervals extended if the therapy succeeds. Each session includes Swissmedic-required safety measures such as regular blood pressure measurement, since strong blood pressure rises and dissociative states are very common side effects.
