Hi @clutch...just checking in.
Andrew, my psychiatrist, and I have been in contact with one another. In January 2021, I had prior authorization for Spravato. I guess that has to be revised, so I'm waiting for Medicare's response. I spent 1hr 58 min going round in circles with Medicare on Friday. I dreaded it and the outcome wasn't resolved...very low frustration level right now. Somehow, I'm still hopeful. Based on Family Medical Leave Act, my husband will be able to drive me.
I really wish these treatments were administered like ECT...inpatient and allowed to drive home at discharge.
Thanks for listening
I hope all is well with you.
Take care

@audriana, thanks for the response. Medicare/Humana authorized the esketamine for me without a lot of waiting. I started with the first two treatments but it threw my nausea out of control, so have stopped for time being. Trying a new drug for nausea control. Just curious, are your treatments going to be scheduled at the Benson Clinic? Stay in touch and let us know how it goes!
