Known For: Missoula’s therapy-first ketamine practice — physician-led ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and REMS-certified Spravato with one of the broadest insurance panels in the vertical, including Montana Medicaid, BCBS of Montana, PacificSource, and Aetna. Small-group ketamine experiences extend the model beyond one-on-one care.

HealingMaps Take: Inner Journey Healthcare occupies a slot most ketamine markets never fill: a KAP practice that participates in insurance networks, including Montana Medicaid — rare anywhere in this vertical. Physician oversight from Joey Banks, MD pairs with PhD- and licensed-therapist-delivered preparation and integration, and the small-group ketamine format lowers the cost barrier further. Spravato runs in-network with BCBS of Montana, PacificSource, and Aetna; ketamine dosing sessions are self-pay on most plans. Patients set on IV infusions specifically should look elsewhere — this is the psychotherapy-centered alternative.
Market Position: Inner Journey holds the therapy-integrated, insurance-accessible position in the Missoula market — KAP + Spravato inside a psychotherapy practice, differentiated from the city’s infusion clinics by its network participation (including Medicaid) and group-therapy formats.
Is Inner Journey Right for You?
✓ Choose Inner Journey if:
- You want ketamine treatment embedded in structured psychotherapy, not a standalone infusion
- You’re insured by BCBS of Montana, PacificSource, Aetna, Mountain Health Co-op, First Choice Health, Allegiance, or Montana Medicaid
- You want insurance-billed Spravato for documented treatment-resistant depression
- A small-group ketamine format appeals to you clinically or financially
- You’re in Missoula, Lolo, Frenchtown, or the Bitterroot Valley corridor
✗ Look elsewhere if:
- You specifically want IV ketamine infusions — Inner Journey’s model is psychotherapy-based dosing and Spravato, not IV
- You’re on Medicare — the practice is not in-network for Medicare
- You want a quick in-and-out treatment with no therapy component

Patient Review
“Having my therapist in the room for preparation and again for integration made the dosing sessions actually mean something — and being able to run part of it through my insurance is why I could afford to finish the program.”
