    Cash-pay context

    Why pricing transparency matters here

    IV ketamine for depression and chronic pain is almost entirely cash-pay. Insurance companies classify it as experimental or off-label, leaving patients to navigate opaque pricing. OpenDoc lists every session price upfront — no surprise charges for monitoring, supplies, or recovery room time.

    Why subspecialty matters

    Why OpenDoc separates these care paths instead of collapsing them

    Focused training matters

    Specialties often branch into narrower care paths. Seeing them clearly helps patients choose providers with training that actually matches the problem.

    Prices match the care path

    A sports medicine visit, a spine evaluation, and a tumor consult are not the same visit. OpenDoc keeps pricing attached to the path, not just the umbrella specialty.

    Less guesswork before booking

    Patients should understand the likely route before they see provider cards. That lowers false starts and makes the next step into provider search feel clearer.

    Better provider fit

    This page keeps specialty, subspecialty, common visit types, and price context aligned so users can move into provider selection with more confidence.
