Curative Health Insurance Coverage

Our mission at the North Carolina Institute of Advanced NeuroHealth is to make mental health care more accessible and less stressful. We understand that navigating insurance benefits can feel overwhelming, especially when you are already working through mental health challenges. Our team is here to help you understand your options so you can focus on getting the care you need.


We are now in-network with Curative!

Whether you are seeking psychiatric care, medication management, telepsychiatry, or innovative treatments such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Spravato, our team can help you explore your benefits and determine which services may be covered under your Curative plan.


Insurance coverage varies by plan, and some treatments may require prior authorization or additional eligibility criteria. We encourage you to contact our team to verify your benefits before beginning treatment.

How Curative Coverage Can Support Your Mental Health Journey

Mental health care looks different for everyone. At the North Carolina Institute of Advanced NeuroHealth, we offer a range of services designed to support your individual needs. Depending on your specific Curative plan, some of these services may be covered by your insurance.


Here are some of the services you can ask about when verifying your Curative benefits.

Medication Management

Finding the right medication and dosage can take time. Our psychiatric team works with you to monitor your progress, evaluate how your medications are working, and make adjustments to your treatment plan when appropriate. Curative coverage for medication management depends on your individual benefits.

Telepsychiatry Services

Getting mental health care should fit into your life. Telepsychiatry allows eligible patients to meet with a provider through secure virtual appointments, making it easier to access psychiatric support from home. Ask our team whether telepsychiatry is covered under your Curative plan.

Spravato Therapy

For individuals living with treatment-resistant depression, Spravato (esketamine) may offer another treatment option when traditional approaches have not provided enough relief. Treatment is administered in a clinical setting under medical supervision. Coverage may depend on your plan's requirements, medical eligibility, and prior authorization.

TMS Therapy

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. It may be an option for people with depression who have not experienced adequate relief from other treatments. Curative coverage for TMS will depend on your benefits and the plan's medical necessity and authorization requirements.

Verifying Your Curative Insurance Coverage

Before starting treatment, it is important to understand what your insurance plan covers and what costs you may be responsible for. Our team can help you navigate the insurance verification process so you have a clearer picture of your options.


When reviewing your Curative benefits, we recommend confirming:


  • In-network benefits: Whether the specific service and provider are covered under your plan.
  • Copays and deductibles: What you may need to pay out of pocket for appointments or treatment.
  • Prior authorization: Whether your plan requires approval before certain services can begin.
  • Medical necessity requirements: Whether your plan has specific clinical criteria for treatments such as TMS or Spravato.
  • Prescription coverage: How medications associated with your treatment plan may be covered.


Being in-network is an important first step, but it does not guarantee that every service will be covered. Our team can help you understand your benefits before you move forward.

Ketamine Treatment AND Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

These two treatments have risen to show their effectiveness over recent years, and literature is showing them to be among the most effective treatments for many psychiatric disorders.

Ketamine has shown itself to be particularly effective with treatment-resistant depression or TRD, post-traumatic-stress-disorder or PTSD, social anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Provided in a series of infusions, or oral or nasal spray, ketamine brings a dramatic difference the first infusion in some, but more often the change is experienced during and after the third, fourth, or fifth infusion.

TMS is a non-medication and non-invasive treatment that requires placement of a magnetic coil over the left dorsolateral prefontal cortex daily for about 20 minutes at a time. This continues daily for about 30-45 days. But you can begin to experience a real difference in 14 days. TMS can be effective in treatment resistant depression and other mood disorders.

MEET DR. RESHMI SARANGA

Leads the Ketamine Department

"I’m Dr. Reshmi Saranga, President and Owner of North Carolina Interventional Neurotherapy, and I can help you experience freedom from overwhelming emotions that make your life difficult to enjoy. My heart aches for what you go through, and I’ll show you the same compassionate and attention care I show my own family.

I’m board-certified in adult and geriatric psychiatry. After initial training in India, I completed a four year residency at University of Kansas Medical Center, then completed a fellowship in geriatric psychiatry at Duke University Medical Center.

I’ve served in the capacity of Chief Resident and on the Committee on Residency and Fellowship with the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology.

You need a psychiatrist who has the education, experiences, and expertise to provide the very best, up-to-date, and compassionate treatment. I chose this training path to provide the most insightful care possible for my patients. I also speak three languages to serve my patients more effectively: English, Hindi, and Telugu.

Empathetic and compassionate care are an integral part of our practice, and it’s extended not only to our family and friends but to our patients, most of all.

When I’m not seeing my patients, I’m usually at home with my husband and our children or playing tennis. I love listening to music while cooking the delicious Indian dishes my family loves. My husband, Dr. Vinay Saranga, and I savor family time, and promote the significance of family for anyone."

WHY OPEN THE NC INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED NEUROHEALTH?

As Dr. Saranga worked 10 years as a psychiatrist with his patients, he’s been distressed by the
percentage of them who did not respond to traditional antidepressants and anxiolytics. He
researched and scrutinized to find treatments that would bring relief to that segment of his
practice. His determination to find help for these patients eventually led to his opening: North Carolina Institute of Advanced Neurohealth
