Telemedicine
Consultations
The first step in every ketamine therapy care pathway — from wherever you are in Maryland
Telemedicine consultations in Baltimore at Vita Nova Ketamine & Wellness Clinic start with a $5 booking fee and run on Tebra's HIPAA-compliant encrypted video platform for patients physically located in Maryland. The consultation is an evaluation visit — your provider reviews your full medical history, prior treatment records, current medications, and clinical appropriateness for ketamine infusion therapy. Every consultation is anesthesiologist-led care, under the medical direction of Dr. Brijen Joshi MD, a Johns Hopkins faculty anesthesiologist, with Vita Nova's licensed clinical team. No controlled substances are prescribed or mailed remotely. All treatments take place in-clinic only at 513 Bayview Blvd, Canton, Baltimore MD 21224. The $5 booking fee secures your appointment slot.

How a Telemedicine Consultation Works
The telemedicine consultation is designed to be efficient and thorough. Your provider reviews everything needed to make a clinically informed recommendation — so you leave the call knowing exactly what the pathway forward looks like, if one is appropriate.
What the Consultation Covers
A Vita Nova telemedicine consultation is a comprehensive clinical evaluation — not a brief intake call. Your provider needs to understand your full picture to make an accurate recommendation. The consultation typically runs 30 to 60 minutes.
Your diagnoses, how long you have had them, severity of symptoms, and how they have progressed — including any hospitalizations or crisis events.
All prior antidepressants, mood stabilizers, pain medications, therapies, and other interventions — with approximate doses, durations, and why each was discontinued.
Complete current medication list including dosages. Some medications — particularly high-dose benzodiazepines — are relevant to ketamine eligibility and protocol design.
Review of general contraindications including cardiovascular history, psychosis history, substance use history, and other clinical factors that affect eligibility.
Your provider reviews your coverage situation and the documentation Vita Nova provides for possible out-of-network reimbursement — superbills and itemized receipts at no additional charge. Ketamine therapy itself is self-pay: $499.99 per mental health infusion ($375 for Vitality Circle members).
Whether a care pathway is appropriate, which treatment is recommended, what the proposed protocol looks like, and what to expect at your first in-clinic visit.
What to Prepare — Consultation Checklist
Arriving prepared makes your consultation more thorough and your provider's recommendation more accurate. Nothing on this list is strictly required — but each item helps.
Prior medical or mental health evaluation records — diagnoses, evaluations, discharge summaries, or any documentation from treating providers
Complete current medication list with dosages — including prescription medications, supplements, and over-the-counter medications taken regularly
Prior treatment documentation — names of antidepressants or pain medications tried, approximate doses and durations, and why each was stopped or considered insufficient
Insurance card — having your plan information ready helps the team begin verification immediately after your consultation for any out-of-network reimbursement available
Referral letters from existing providers — if your physician or primary care provider has recommended ketamine therapy evaluation, bring that documentation
Device with camera and microphone — laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a stable internet connection. No app download required — the Tebra consultation runs in a web browser
A quiet, private space — HIPAA-compliant consultations require that the conversation cannot be overheard
