Book a Free Phone ScreeningSpravato® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray form of ketamine for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and MDD with suicidal ideation — the first genuinely new class of antidepressant approved in decades.
Because it is FDA-approved specifically for depression, Spravato® is often covered by insurance for qualifying patients. Golden Afternoon is a certified Spravato® treatment center and manages prior authorization with your insurer on your behalf.
Spravato® is FDA-approved for two specific indications. If you meet these criteria, your insurance may cover treatment. Our team helps you navigate the process from day one.
Adults with major depressive disorder who have not responded to at least two different antidepressants of adequate dose and duration in the current episode.
Adults with major depressive disorder who have active or recent suicidal ideation with intent or behavior. Spravato® is approved for rapid symptom reduction in this population.
Most major insurers cover Spravato® for qualifying patients. We manage the prior authorization process so you can focus on getting better, not paperwork.
A free phone screening is the fastest way to find out. Our care team will review your history and tell you whether Spravato® is right for you — and whether your insurance will cover it.
There are Spravato® providers across LA. Here’s what makes Golden Afternoon different for Santa Monica patients.
We manage REMS certification, prior authorization, and insurance coordination so you can focus on getting better, not navigating paperwork.
The required 2-hour post-dose monitoring period is spent in a private room in a zero-gravity chair with curated music — not a waiting room chair.
Dr. Jenn designs every Spravato® protocol. Our experienced care team — including trained Nurse Practitioners — delivers each session to the same standard she sets.
If Spravato® isn’t right for you, or if you want to combine treatments, we offer IV ketamine under one roof with the same care team who knows your history.
