Before you book in San Francisco
Confirm the license body before you pay
Every clinic should be able to give you a license number and the issuing body (FDA REMS ID, state medical board number, OHA/DORA license). You can look it up on the regulator's public registry before your first session.
Ask who is in the room during dosing
A prescriber does not need to be present for every moment of an IV or Spravato session, but a qualified clinician must be. Ask for specifics: RN, nurse practitioner, or MD, and what happens if you have an adverse reaction.
Get the pre-authorization status in writing
For Spravato, your insurer should issue a prior-auth confirmation with a validity window and session count. Do not start induction without a copy in hand - retroactive denials are common.
Clarify cancellation and missed-session policies
Induction courses are typically 6-8 sessions. If you cancel or miss, many clinics will not refund the deposit but should let you reschedule within a reasonable window. Get this in writing.
