From the 2026 Ketamine Industry Report
HSA and FSA funds can be applied to ketamine therapy when it is prescribed for a qualifying medical condition — a frequently overlooked option given that 75% of patients pay cash. Ask your provider for a Letter of Medical Necessity to confirm eligibility with your HSA or FSA administrator before your first session.

Patient Questions about Pain Specialty Group
This 2-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Pain Specialty Group treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
Is Pain Specialty Group suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Pain Specialty Group treats depression via IV ketamine (off-label, evidence-based). Insurance coverage is rare for IV/KAP — most patients pay out of pocket. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.
Does Pain Specialty Group treat chronic pain conditions?
Yes — Pain Specialty Group treats chronic pain. They use IV ketamine for pain, which typically means longer infusion times and higher cumulative doses than mental-health protocols. Common indications include complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), fibromyalgia, and certain neuropathic pain syndromes. Pain pricing varies significantly by structure: per-infusion vs. multi-day inpatient packages — verify how this clinic structures their billing.
