Cost and insurance

Cost and insurance information

Ketamine therapy costs vary depending on where you are in Canada, the number of sessions required, and the treatment protocol involved. We believe in transparency — here’s what you need to know.

Per Session

$800 – $1,200

Typical range for a single IV ketamine infusion session across Canadian clinics, including monitoring and physician oversight.

Full Treatment Protocol

$5,000 – $6,500

Typical range for a complete induction course (6 sessions), which is the recommended starting protocol for most conditions.

Why ketamine therapy costs vary

Unlike a standard prescription, ketamine therapy involves a clinical environment, physician time, monitoring equipment, and individualized care. Several factors influence the final cost.

Province & City

Clinic operating costs vary significantly across Canada. A clinic in downtown Toronto or Vancouver will have different overhead than one in a smaller city, and these differences are reflected in session fees.

Number of Sessions

Most patients begin with an induction course of 6 sessions over 2–3 weeks. Some conditions and individual responses may require more or fewer sessions. Clinics often offer reduced per-session rates for full course packages.

Treatment Protocol

Dosing, duration, and the level of physician oversight involved in your specific treatment plan all influence cost. Complex cases requiring more intensive monitoring may differ from standard protocols.

Will insurance cover it?

Provincial health plans (e.g., OHIP) do not currently cover ketamine infusions for psychiatric or pain indications. However, many private extended health benefit plans reimburse part or all of the cost. Coverage varies significantly by plan.

Reputable clinics provide detailed clinical receipts and letters to support your insurance submission. We strongly recommend contacting your insurer before beginning treatment to understand what may be covered.
