FAQs about ketamine treatment at Lumin Health
The questions our concierge team hears most.
Is my first call with a doctor?
No. Your free consult is with our patient concierge team. You meet your psychiatrist or Lumin Health clinician during clinical intake, the next step.
Why can't I start treatment tomorrow?
Before your first session we complete a clinical intake to make sure treatment is right for you, and we verify your insurance. Both typically happen around the same time, and we move as fast as they allow.
How often will I come in?
Typically twice a week for the first four weeks, then once a week for the next four. After that, you and your psychiatrist decide what comes next.
How long is each visit?
Plan for a little over two hours: a quick check-in, your treatment, then about two hours of rest while our clinical team monitors you.
What about insurance?
Our concierge team verifies your coverage and talks it through with you on a call, so you don't have to work it out alone.
What should I bring?
Anything that helps you settle: headphones and a playlist, a sketchbook, a comfortable layer. And a ride home.
