Common questions
Are services covered by insurance?
Psyon has contracts with 7 public insurers (VZP, ZPS, VOZP, CPZP, ZPMVCR, OZP, RBP). Clients of these insurers get standard psychotherapy and outpatient psychiatry fully covered; ketamine-assisted therapy is partially covered (contains covered and non-covered items).
What are the admission conditions for KAT?
Admission is decided by a physician after an initial meeting plus comprehensive psychiatric and internal examinations. Requirements include age 18+, motivation for therapeutic work, and at least one previous treatment attempt. Contraindications include psychotic-spectrum illness (also in family history), current addiction, acute suicidality, severe personality disorder, serious cardiovascular/liver disease, pregnancy/breastfeeding.
How does the treatment proceed?
Initial online meeting (25 min) -> comprehensive psychiatric examination (90-120 min) -> internal examination (30-60 min) -> KAT itself in at least five sessions (preparation, ketamine experience, integration), 8-14 hours in total.
Does KAT work?
The clinic reports 77% of clients feel positive change at treatment end; PHQ-9/GAD-7 data from >1,200 patients show significant symptom reduction sustained at 6-month follow-up (clinical practice data, not an RCT).
What if I cannot afford it?
A subsidy programme can reduce or refund the price for people in need (disability pension, students, pensioners etc.); inclusion is decided by the clinic's medical council - one cannot actively apply.
