Select Health commercial plans exclude Spravato coverage as of April 2026, but patients may have other options. Coverage reviews, appeals, and manufacturer assistance programs may provide additional paths to explore.
If you're considering Spravato for depression, knowing where to turn can make the process easier. At Etherios Therapy in Orem, Utah, we help patients understand their treatment options and explore resources that may make care more accessible.
Does Select Health Cover Spravato?
As of April 1, 2026, Select Health commercial plans no longer cover Spravato medication, administration, or observation. This change appears in the insurer's June 2026 provider policy update.
However, coverage differs between commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid plans. Select Health Medicare follows federal Medicare reimbursement guidelines, while Spravato medication coverage for Select Health Community Care members is determined by Utah Medicaid.
You can review Select Health's provider policies or contact your insurer to confirm your specific benefits. You can also explore our Spravato treatment services to learn more about what care involves.
Can You Appeal a Coverage Denial?
You can generally request a review or appeal if Select Health denies coverage for Spravato. However, an appeal does not guarantee approval, especially if your plan excludes the treatment.
Start by asking Select Health why coverage was denied. If the denial involves missing medical information, your provider may be able to submit additional records. A denial based on a plan exclusion can be harder to overturn because the treatment is not included in the plan's covered benefits.
Your provider may also help explain why Spravato is medically appropriate. You can ask Select Health about available exceptions and the deadlines for submitting an appeal.
What Is Spravato Patient Assistance?
In addition to exploring your insurance options, patient assistance programs may help you access Spravato medication. Johnson & Johnson offers support programs that help patients understand coverage and explore available financial resources.
The SPRAVATO withMe program provides insurance guidance and savings opportunities. Eligible commercially insured patients may qualify for medication savings or rebates for treatment observation. Eligibility depends on program requirements and how your insurance covers treatment.
Johnson & Johnson also offers a separate Patient Assistance Program for people who are uninsured or whose coverage does not adequately meet their needs. Eligible patients may receive Spravato medication at no cost for up to one year.
Medication assistance and coverage for clinic visits are separate matters. Patients should confirm which treatment expenses each program may cover.
Who Qualifies for Financial Assistance?
Each assistance program has its own eligibility requirements. Depending on the program, factors may include your insurance coverage, household income, and financial circumstances.
Johnson & Johnson's Patient Assistance Program generally requires household income at or below 300% of the federal poverty level. Other eligibility requirements also apply, and the program reviews each application to determine who qualifies.
Before applying, gather your insurance information, proof of income, and any coverage denial notices you've received. You may also want to have your treatment history available when discussing Spravato with your healthcare provider. Program representatives can explain which documents you need and help you understand the next steps.
How Can You Explore Your Options?
Once you understand your coverage, talk with your healthcare provider about whether Spravato is right for you. Your provider can help you consider treatment needs and discuss possible next steps.
If Spravato is recommended, you can explore appeals, coverage reviews, and manufacturer assistance. Contact SPRAVATO withMe at 1-844-479-4846 to learn more about available resources.
