‘

Located in lovely Winona, Bloom Neurotherapy is Southern Minnesota’s only ketamine boutique, offering personal, one on one service.  We are committed to working with you to find relief from Treatment Resistant Depression, suicidality, anxiety, and PTSD.

We offer evidence-based treatment in a private, confidential setting with Beth Maki, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist.

Studies, including those conducted at Yale University and the National Institute of Mental Health, have consistently shown that IV ketamine, given at low doses to moderate doses in 6 infusions over 14 days can help 70% of patients achieve remission from Treatment Resistant Depression. For patients with PTSD, 81% will achieve remission, and in the case of suicidality, 81% will no longer have these thoughts after the third infusion. Please see our Evidence page to read the studies. Often, even when other treatments have failed to provide any relief, IV ketamine is effective.​

• DOES MY INSURANCE COVER INFUSION THERAPY?

  • Although IV ketamine is now nationally recognized as a substantial and legitimate treatment for mental health it remains “off-label.” Therefore, insurance has not covered the treatment series in the past. Just in this past year, we are starting to see insurance companies recognize the value of ketamine, sometimes covering a portion of expenses. For this reason, we have started offering “SuperBills”, which is a bill you submit to your insurance company for reimbursement of your expenses. The percentage of coverage varies by state and insurance company. We can also work with you to use your Health Savings Plans and Flex Benefits.

• DO I NEED A REFERRAL?

  • We prefer a formal referral from your primary care or mental health provider. We strongly believe that to achieve the greatest success it is best for Bloom and your treating provider to communicate throughout the infusion series to ensure this treatment is working toward substantial remission. If you do not feel comfortable or do not know how to start the conversation about ketamine with your provider, we are happy to help with that. We will also need to obtain your medical history and recent treatment history from your treating provider.

• WHAT IS THE COST AND HOW DO I PAY?

  • Infusions are $2700 (pre-paid) for the entire series of six infusions. Boosters are $450 each. This is the standard price in the US for ketamine. Personal checks are not accepted, however, cash, credit/debit cards, and cashiers checks are acceptable forms of payment. If you are a veteran, please let us know for special pricing ($2200/six infusions, paid in full, $350 for boosters). We now offer financing available with interest free for a year. For more information on cost and financial responsibility please call. We do not want to turn anyone away for purely financial reasons, and will try to work with you!

• Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy

  • It is important to work through life experiences, feelings and emotions, and memories that can emerge during ketamine infusions. Bloom is collaborating with regional Minnesota therapists specializing in Trauma work, Somatic Experiencing, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), and Integration work. These are specialized therapeutic modalities that work well with the ketamine experience. We can arrange these services if you are interested in this level of work. We can work with your current therapist as well.
