COVERAGE FOR TMS THERAPY

Insurance – We handle all the paperwork for you.

Mental health is a topic that is becoming more and more prominent in our society. Many people experience events or live in conditions that amplify their mental health issues. As a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) clinic, we have seen access to mental health resources expand over time. Mental health coverage is accessible through insurance and TMS has become more and more available to patients in need of care.

Here at A Better Way Psychiatry and TMS Clinic, we want to help you break the hold that depression has on you. Many patients who don’t see results with traditional depression treatments find that TMS is an effective therapy with minimal side effects. Talk to one of our TMS care coordinators today so that we can help you navigate the process of getting TMS therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How expensive is TMS therapy?

TMS is much more affordable now than it was previously. Major insurance companies such as Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Blue Shield of California (Magellan), Anthem Blue Cross, and Medicare began covering TMS in 2013. The cost of treatment varies depending on the treatment plan and if the patient has insurance coverage for TMS.

Before you begin a plan of care, we will itemize the costs of treatment to ensure there are no surprises when it comes to payment.

What health conditions does transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS therapy) help treat?

TMS therapy is FDA-approved to help treat major depressive disorder (MDD), anxiety, ADHD, and more. Most insurance companies only cover TMS therapy for MDD and anxiety. As insurance companies begin to cover other FDA-approved conditions for TMS, we will update our policies.
