Ibogaine Healthcare Policy Institute
Policy infrastructure for regulated ibogaine care.
IHPI is a credible, neutral resource helping healthcare decision-makers evaluate ibogaine therapy with safety, payment, and implementation discipline.
We are building the legal and operational infrastructure to bring regulated ibogaine treatment into the U.S. to help veterans and millions of others living with PTSD and opioid use disorder.
Why now
The gap is not interest. It is decision-maker uncertainty.
CMS, Medicaid leaders, commercial payers, regulators, and health system executives need decision-grade health economics, reimbursement mechanics, operational delivery models, and safety standardization.
Without neutral technical infrastructure, fragmented or self-interested narratives fill the space. That increases perceived risk and slows legitimate evaluation.
IHPI translates uncertainty into public goods that institutions can use inside real workflows: actuarial memos, benefit design sessions, coverage criteria drafts, and implementation planning.
Americans died from drug overdoses last year.

What IHPI builds
Healthcare adopts what it can define, code, reimburse, and monitor.
Regulatory pathways
State playbooks and policy scaffolds that help regulators move from interest to approved evaluation pathways.
Safety and delivery standards
Screening, monitoring, site-of-care, and quality guardrails that make evaluation insurable and scalable.
Payer system infrastructure
Payer-ready economics, coding roadmaps, budget impact logic, and coverage criteria scaffolds.

What the Federal Psychedelics Executive Order actually does, and does not do.
The order accelerates federal posture around psychedelic medicine, but the work that determines patient access still sits downstream: agency follow-through, supply, safety, coverage, and delivery infrastructure.
