What a Ketamine Infusion Costs in 2026: Every Posted Price in Our Directory, Analyzed
The national median price of a ketamine infusion in 2026 is $400. That number comes from our own directory. We reviewed all 1,793 ketamine clinic listings on HealingMaps in July 2026, identified every clinic that publicly posts a treatment price, and verified 91 standard per session prices across 30 states. No survey, no estimates, no extrapolation. These are the prices clinics themselves put in front of patients.
Whatever you charge, your margin is set by what you spend. HealingMaps’ GPO, the first built for the ketamine industry, gets member clinics 40 percent or more off medical supplies, 15 to 20 percent off malpractice and liability premiums, discounted LegitScript certification, and 20 to 30 percent off HIPAA compliant payment processing.

| Key Takeaway | Detail |
|---|---|
| The national median is $400 per infusion | Half of all posted prices fall between $375 and $475, based on 91 verified clinic prices |
| California runs 38 percent above the middle of the country | California’s median is $550, against $388 to $400 across the Midwest and Mountain states |
| Ketamine assisted psychotherapy commands a premium | KAP sessions post a median near $575, and run as high as $1,100 |
| At home programs compete on a different axis | Telehealth programs post $250 per session or $399 to $599 per month, well under clinic pricing |
| Nine in ten clinics post no price at all | Of 1,793 listings reviewed, only about one in ten displays a real dollar figure |
Where the $400 Number Comes From
A pricing claim is only as good as its method, so here is ours. We reviewed the cost information on all 1,793 ketamine clinic listings in the HealingMaps directory during July 2026. About 1,500 listings include a cost field, but only 171 show an actual dollar figure. From those we removed duplicate locations, consultation fees, package totals, retreats, and at home telehealth programs, which left 91 clinics with a verifiable standard per session price for in clinic treatment. Where a clinic posts a range, we used the low end. Where a clinic posts only a series price, we divided by the number of sessions.
The result: a median of $400, a mean of $428, and a middle 50 percent of the market sitting between $375 and $475. The full spread runs from $200 for an intramuscular session in Kentucky to $1,000 at a premium New York City practice.
The Middle of the Market Is Tighter Than You Think
The most useful finding for an operator is how narrow the core of this market has become. Half of all posted prices land within a $100 band. If you charge between $375 and $475 per infusion, you are pricing with the pack. Patients comparing two or three local clinics will usually find the quotes within $50 of each other.
That tightness changes what competition means. When prices converge, clinics stop winning on price and start winning on everything around it: response time to inquiries, the experience in the treatment room, physician credibility, and follow up care. A clinic $75 under the local median is not obviously winning. It may simply be leaving revenue on the table while signaling less, not more, to a patient researching a medical procedure.
State by State: California Is Its Own Market
| State | Clinics With Posted Prices | Median Per Session | Posted Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colorado | 13 | $400 | $250 to $500 |
| Florida | 12 | $400 | $350 to $500 |
| Illinois | 8 | $388 | $250 to $600 |
| California | 8 | $550 | $300 to $600 |
| New York | 6 | $475 | $400 to $1,000 |
| Arizona | 4 | $400 | $350 to $500 |
Six states have enough posted prices to compute a meaningful median, and one of them stands apart. California’s median of $550 runs 38 percent above Illinois and the Mountain states. New York sits between at $475. Colorado and Florida, two of the densest ketamine markets in the country, both land exactly on the national median of $400, and their competitive depth is probably why. Colorado alone has 13 clinics posting prices, more than any other state we reviewed.
Posted prices from clinics in the remaining 24 states cluster in the same $350 to $500 band, though no single state outside these six has enough data points for a reliable median. As more clinics post pricing we will rerun this analysis and expand the table.
KAP Pricing Tells a Different Story
Ketamine assisted psychotherapy is priced as a different product, because it is one. The ten KAP practices posting session prices show a median near $575, with a range from $300 for a therapist led medicine session in Colorado to $1,100 for a three hour guided session in California. The premium over a standard infusion reflects clinician time. A KAP session bundles the medicine with two to three hours of a licensed therapist, and the price carries that labor.
For infusion clinics weighing whether to add KAP, the pricing data frames the decision. The revenue per session is higher, but so is the cost per session, and the throughput is lower. The clinics that make KAP work tend to treat it as a distinct service line with its own economics rather than an upsell on the infusion schedule.
The At Home Programs Are Not Competing on Your Terms
Telehealth ketamine programs in our directory post very different numbers: $399 to $599 per month for sublingual programs, or $250 per session for supervised at home injection models. A patient comparing a $400 in clinic infusion against a $399 monthly program is not comparing like for like, and the clinics that fare best against telehealth competition are the ones that explain the difference plainly: route of administration, monitoring, dosing precision, and what happens when something goes wrong. With the DEA’s telehealth flexibilities set to expire December 31, we covered what happens to that entire model in our breakdown of the DEA telehealth cliff.
What the 90 Percent Who Post Nothing Are Missing
The most surprising number in this analysis is not a price. It is how few clinics publish one. Roughly nine in ten ketamine clinics post no dollar figure at all. The standard argument for opacity is that pricing conversations belong on the phone, where a coordinator can explain value. The patient behavior we observe across our directory suggests the opposite. Treatment seekers filter out clinics that hide pricing before they ever call, the same way they skip restaurants with no menu online.
Posting a price also puts you in the comparison set for every patient using published numbers to budget, and this analysis shows the risk of doing so is small. If the market has converged on $400, publishing $400 costs you nothing and earns the trust of a patient who has already seen three competitors decline to answer the question. Your price is not a secret. It is a signal, and right now most of the industry is choosing silence over a signal the data says is safe to send.
