HealingMaps Take: Foundation Medical Group is quietly building one of the most accessible advanced depression treatment programs in the Richmond metro. What sets them apart is not clinical flash but insurance infrastructure: they accept Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Optima, Medicare, and — critically — Virginia Medicaid. That Medicaid acceptance is a genuine differentiator in the ketamine/esketamine space, where most providers are cash-only and a six-infusion series can run $3,000+. Foundation’s dedicated care coordinators handle prior authorizations and copay assistance, removing the administrative barrier that stops many patients from ever starting Spravato treatment. The clinic is REMS-certified (required for Spravato dispensing) and offers private treatment suites with continuous vital monitoring during the two-hour observation period. The addition of GeneSight pharmacogenetic testing is smart — it helps identify which patients are true non-responders to traditional antidepressants (and thus genuine Spravato candidates) versus patients who were simply on the wrong medication. The practice is also expanding into IV and IM ketamine, which would make them a full-spectrum provider. For patients — especially those on Medicaid or limited insurance — who need advanced depression treatment, Foundation is removing the barriers that other clinics have not addressed.
Market Position: Foundation Medical Group is a Spravato-certified clinic in the Chesterfield metro. Spravato (esketamine) is the FDA-approved ketamine treatment that most commercial insurance plans cover after prior authorization — unlike cash-pay IV ketamine.
Is Foundation Medical Group Right for You?
✓ Choose Foundation Medical Group if:
- You have commercial insurance and a documented treatment-resistant depression diagnosis (Spravato pathway)
✗ Look elsewhere if:
- You’re seeking cash-pay IV ketamine instead of insurance-billed Spravato
- You want ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) with integrated talk therapy
- You need same-week appointments — Spravato prior authorization typically takes 1–3 weeks

- Medical evaluation — in-person or telehealth psychiatric assessment, vitals check, and review of current medications with the Foundation Medical Group clinical team.

Patient Questions about Foundation Medical Group
This 2-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Foundation Medical Group treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
Does Foundation Medical Group offer Spravato (esketamine)?
Yes — Foundation Medical Group offers Spravato, which means they’re FDA REMS-certified and maintain the required two-hour in-office monitoring window after each dose. Spravato is the primary insurance-covered ketamine option for treatment-resistant depression. Worth confirming the prior-authorization timeline before booking your first session.
Is Foundation Medical Group suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Foundation Medical Group treats depression via Spravato (FDA-approved for TRD). The Spravato pathway is the most likely to obtain commercial insurance coverage. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.
