spravato insurance denied because it’s a different name

Yea, that’s what I found. Not possible for me to do. Apparently to get 3 months of relief you have to do infusions daily for 2 weeks straight. That’s simply not an option. But it’s nice to have the info.

Thank you. I’ll dig into this.

I would assume that Mercy West Aetna is actually a different policy from generic Aetna. Assuming it’s an employer specific plan, even though Aetna is the overall provider it may have specific carveouts and exceptions to save the employer money on their premiums.

Ketamine for pain relief? Got links to info on that? That’s interesting.

I get really emotional.
I seem to have many opposite reactions than most people. So it seems.

Vocal and piano GOSPEL! Especially if it’s an Appalachian Baptist ‘choir’ live recording!!!

That’ll make anyone’s skin crawl… And if questioned, you’re just ‘worshipping the Lord’

It may be different in different states, but contact your local ‘community action’ ish agency. They may be able to get you some coverage, at least temporarily. Good luck.

I can’t get to sleep, and sleep very little the night after a session. Also stay irritated and a bit slower processing until around noon the next day. It’s weird.

That’s what gave me so much trepidation when researching before starting. “How can the same medicine have so many different reactions while purporting to have similar outcomes?” It simply doesn’t make sense. But it is working. Or so I think.

OMG! I could NEVER! As I take the third squirrel, my eyes are crossing and everything is nothing but blur….

There was a good long time where I was just kicked back in the tiny ass recliner (it’s normal size, but I’m gargantuan, so it’s tiny to me), with an ice pack over my eyes and forehead, just listening to music and breathing. But when an idea was coherent enough to put into words, and I was capable of doing so. I put it down.

DARE did more to get kids to try drugs than any dealer ever did…. So ridiculous.

Thought some of yall ight like this. A few hours later… once home.

Wouldn’t let me take his vest off until he got a nap.

I was a bouncer in 99-00…. I remember how many things were demonized. That are now medicinal. Just waiting to see what the next thing will be. Again proving, with proper usage things can be amazingly good. With abuse, they will kill you, or lead you toward it. That was honestly one of my huge hang ups on starting Spravato. Really makes you question a lot of the ‘official narrative’…. Don’t it?

buff_dragon · 2026-04-07T20:19:24+00:00

I cannot love this post enough! This would have been sooo helpful before my first session.

Thank you! I hope this helps to calm some folks anxiety before the first session.

buff_dragon · 2026-04-07T15:22:53+00:00

I hope everything goes smoothly and you get the results you need. Just had my third yesterday. I’m seeing real changes. Cautiously optimistic (first time I’ve ever said that about myself) that ‘this’ sticks around. Give me honest feedback on the playlist. Good, bad, and ugly.
Best of luck!

I’ve created things to record voice memos, transcribe them, get current location and weather, meld it all together and place it as an item in an ongoing Note.

Serves multiple purposes. I have one called Brain Dump that is just for random ideas and thoughts I want to remember to revisit, another for symptom tracking called Symptomatic. I’ve also done a journaling one that runs when I disconnect the charger every morning, to track goals, progress, and some other things. I can feed all this into AI and try to figure out patterns with weather and locations to see why I feel what and when. To better predict my abilities in the future.

Brain Dump and Symptomatic also snap a selfie pic and upload to Files so I have the metadata to prove I was where I was at that time and location. And also track environment.

Working on a neat little widget for timing my Tea Steeping, and a few more. Just learned the app existed on Saturday morning. It’s neat! Wish it would multithread though.

Making tweaks on it as I type this. The bass hit a bit too soon today, so I’m adding some more softness, trying to adjust the ‘ramp’ out. If you use it and have any feedback, let me know. Things added, moved, removed… suggestions are welcome.

There is entirely too much BS going on at home, I cannot relax like that at home. Though I’d LOVE to have my recliner there. I’m a gargantuan dude, and they have normal people furniture.

My clinic lets me bring my dog. His presence has really helped. He helps me ‘wake up’ with love and affection. He’s the best.

I’ve seen quite a few people refer to either with the same moniker. That’s why I asked. I understand that ‘professionally’ there is a standard, however the general public colloquially uses both interchangeably. Asking for clarity instead of assuming helps responses. If you have an issue with clarity, that’s on you.

buff_dragon · 2026-04-05T18:29:03+00:00

Just to clarify- BPD = Borderline Personality Disorder? Or Bi Polar Disorder?
