Áureo Clinic Now Accepting Medical Insurance

At Áureo Clinic, we're dedicated to providing compassionate and effective mental health care through innovative therapies, including Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). We’re thrilled to announce a significant development that will make it easier for patients to access our services: we are now accepting many common insurance plans for medical intakes, integration, and follow-up appointments related to KAP. This change reflects our ongoing commitment to expanding access to mental health care for our community in Portland and across Oregon.

Why This Matters: Expanding Access to Mental Health Care

For many individuals seeking alternative therapies for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood disorders, the cost of treatment can be a significant barrier. With insurance coverage now available for key components of KAP at Áureo Clinic, we're removing some of these financial obstacles. This move is particularly important as more people turn to Ketamine treatment in Portland as a powerful tool for managing mental health conditions.

Ketamine has emerged as a transformative treatment option for individuals who haven't found relief with traditional therapies. Áureo Clinic's approach integrates this cutting-edge treatment with comprehensive care, ensuring patients receive not only the medication but also the necessary psychological support through integration sessions. By accepting insurance for these services, we can help more people in Portland and beyond experience the benefits of ketamine-assisted therapy.

What Services Are Covered?

It’s important to clarify that while we can now accept insurance for medical intakes, integration, and follow-up appointments related to Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, the KAP sessions themselves are not covered by insurance. Here’s a breakdown of what’s included:

  • Medical Intakes: These initial consultations are crucial for determining whether ketamine therapy is appropriate for each patient. Our comprehensive medical intakes involve a thorough assessment of your mental and physical health, as well as a discussion of your treatment goals.

  • Integration Sessions: After a KAP session, integration is key to making sense of the experiences and insights gained during the treatment. These sessions help patients process their experiences and apply them to their daily lives. We’re pleased to offer insurance coverage for these vital sessions.

  • Follow-Up Appointments: Ongoing support is essential in any therapeutic process. Our follow-up appointments ensure that patients continue to progress in their mental wellness journey, allowing us to adjust treatments and provide support as needed.

Insurance Plans We Accept

We are now in-network with a variety of insurance providers, making it easier for more patients to receive the care they need. The insurance plans we currently accept include:

  • Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS)

  • Providence Health Plans

  • Aetna

  • Cigna

  • Pacific Source

  • United Healthcare

  • Oregon Health Plan (OHP)

  • First Choice Health

  • ASH (American Specialty Health)

  • Optum

  • Humana

  • Axis

Unfortunately, we are unable to accept Kaiser or Moda at this time, as their panels were closed.

A Step Forward for Mental Wellness in Portland

This development is a significant step forward in making Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy more accessible in Portland. By accepting insurance for key components of the treatment process, we’re helping to bridge the gap between innovative therapies and the people who need them most.

Ketamine treatment in Portland has gained recognition for its effectiveness in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood disorders. As a Portland Oregon psychedelic therapy provider, Áureo Clinic is proud to offer a holistic approach to mental health, combining the latest in ketamine therapy with compassionate, personalized care.

Continuing Our Commitment to Affordable Care

In addition to accepting insurance for medical intakes, integration, and follow-up appointments, Áureo Clinic is also committed to offering lower-cost ketamine group sessions in the future. These group sessions provide a more affordable option for those seeking the benefits of ketamine therapy in a supportive, communal setting.

Group ketamine sessions are particularly beneficial for those who may feel isolated in their mental health journey. These sessions not only provide the therapeutic effects of ketamine but also foster a sense of community and shared experience among participants. This approach aligns with our belief in the power of holistic mental health care—treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.
