Request comparable written estimates

When comparing the Myrtle Beach listings with the Mount Pleasant infusion option, request a written, itemized estimate rather than relying on a single session figure. Include assessment, medication, monitoring, psychotherapy if provided, possible maintenance visits, and transportation from Conway. Ask which charges remain payable if the physician decides treatment is unsuitable and whether follow-up appointments are billed separately. No local price or package total is established by these listings.

Check coverage and compounded-product safety

IV and compounded ketamine are often self-pay. Spravato benefits depend on the plan, prior authorization, provider network, and patient cost sharing. Confirm both the selected office and the proposed service with the insurer; Medicare or Medicaid coverage is not guaranteed. Ask whether medication and supervised care generate separate claims.

If considering a compounded product because of cost, read the FDA warning about compounded ketamine, including psychiatric home use. A telehealth evaluation does not replace necessary monitoring. Compare safety arrangements and follow-up alongside the quoted price.

Plan the return to Conway

Before booking in Myrtle Beach or Mount Pleasant, confirm the exact treatment address, individualized visit schedule, and full time needed for assessment, treatment, and observation. Ask the office for an individualized assessment and visit schedule before arranging travel. Under FDA Spravato guidance, treatment occurs in a certified, supervised setting with monitoring for at least two hours. Do not drive until the next day after restful sleep.

For other routes, follow the clinician’s restrictions and arrange responsible adult pickup. Ask whether your companion must remain onsite. Transit or rideshare alone is not automatically an acceptable escort. The SCDOT transit directory is a starting point; confirm routes, schedules, and eligibility directly rather than assuming a suitable connection.

Keep follow-up connected

Arrange record sharing and aftercare with your existing Conway-area clinician. The BHDD mental health center directory identifies county service areas for community support, but does not establish ketamine services. Obtain instructions for concerns between appointments and clarify who manages ongoing prescriptions.

This directory is not emergency intake. Call or text 988 for crisis support; call 911 for an emergency.
