Common questions
How do I access esketamine (Spravato) treatment at a university hospital?
Access runs through a psychiatrist. Your treating psychiatrist assesses whether you meet the Swiss criteria for treatment-resistant depression and refers you to the appropriate specialised consultation.
Is the treatment covered by health insurance?
Spravato is reimbursed by Swiss mandatory health insurance for treatment-resistant depression within the official criteria; the insurer must issue a cost approval (garantie de prise en charge) before the first dose.
