I am one among the countless individuals who have witnessed the needless suffering of people due to insurance companies denying coverage for ketamine treatment. Ketamine, a medicine FDA approved for pain since 1970, has been a beacon of hope for many battling chronic pain, CRPS, mental health issues, and PTSD. The World Health Organization even lists it as one of the top ten medicines that should be available in all hospitals at all times.

The benefits of ketamine are not just anecdotal but backed by extensive research. Studies have proven its efficacy in treating various conditions where traditional medications have failed. Yet, despite these facts and its potential to change lives dramatically, insurance companies continue to deny coverage for this essential treatment.

The denial is not only causing undue financial stress on patients but also depriving them of an effective therapeutic option that could significantly improve their quality of life. It's time we put patient wellbeing over profits and demand that insurance providers cover the cost of ketamine treatments.

Please sign this petition to urge lawmakers and regulators to mandate insurance coverage for ketamine treatments for mental health, chronic pain and CRPS so no one has to suffer needlessly due to lack of access or affordability.
