Ketamine Clinics Los Angeles Goes In-Network With Insurance and Adds Medication Management to Service Offerings
The Southern California ketamine clinic, one of the largest in the world, has added an in-house team of psychiatrists and advanced psychiatric practitioners to their staff to better support the mental health needs of patients.
LOS ANGELES, February 9, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Ketamine Clinics Los Angeles (KCLA), a premier ketamine clinic located in Southern California, is pleased to announce that it will now accept insurance for psychiatric medication management and complimentary mental health services. KCLA is currently in-network with Optum, Medicare, Managed Health Network (MHN), and pending with several others. This vital expansion in services is led by a clinical team of two psychiatrists (double and triple-board-certified), two psychiatric physician assistants, and one psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. A support staff of five nurses and six admins also ensures rapid and robust service to all patients. The entire team at KCLA is comprised of compassionate, knowledgeable, and experienced employees who provide the highest quality care for patients.
When asked what prompted the expansion, Cofounder and CEO Sam Mandel shared, "KCLA has pioneered ketamine infusions for nine years, and we remain dedicated to helping patients transform their lives through evidence-based therapies. We felt it was time to take the next step in providing more comprehensive care. We plan to offer transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and additional modalities in the next 2-4 weeks. By accepting insurance, we are expanding access to high-quality care in a meaningful way and are excited for a momentous year of helping our community to heal."
Medication management is integral to treatment for many individuals struggling with mental health conditions, however, determining the correct medication(s) and dosage(s) requires clinical expertise and a collaborative care model to ensure optimum treatment outcomes. By offering patients in-house management of their medications, KCLA is reducing barriers to treatment, providing more comprehensive care, and furthering their success in helping individuals achieve relief from mood disorders.
The KCLA psychiatric staff can answer patients' questions about mental health disorders, provide evaluations, medication management, follow-up visits, and address other general psychiatric needs. Ketamine Clinics LA is pleased to expand upon its specialty of utilizing ketamine for depression.
