Common questions
What does a ketamine infusion cost and does insurance pay?
The clinic states an average of €200 to €300 per single infusion in Frankfurt. Because ketamine for depression is an off-label use, statutory health insurers currently do not reimburse it; some private insurers cover the costs partially or fully, and the clinic recommends clarifying this in advance.
How do I start treatment?
Contact the clinic directly by phone (+49 6145 5458671), email (info@mainop.de) or the online contact form linked from the ketamine page. A careful pre-examination is carried out first to rule out contraindications such as psychosis, cardiovascular disease or glaucoma.
Is the treatment inpatient or outpatient?
Ketamine infusions usually take place on an outpatient basis and last about 40 minutes, followed by a short recovery phase before leaving the clinic. The clinic also has up to ten beds for short-stay care.
What does the treatment involve and how does it feel?
The medication is administered slowly through a venous cannula while the patient lies relaxed and is continuously monitored. Many patients report a transient feeling of dissociation or light trance during the infusion, which subsides quickly afterwards. Typical courses are three to eight infusions at one-to-two-day intervals.
How long does the effect last?
Per the clinic, duration is very individual — from a few days to several months. Some patients have a lasting effect after a single infusion, while others need repeat infusions at regular intervals.
