TMS is a noninvasive procedure used to treat major depressive disorder. It’s often a helpful solution for patients who have tried other standard treatments, such as therapy and medication, and want to pursue alternative help.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy uses recurring magnetic pulses that target areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. When delivered over a series of treatments, TMS may help support changes in neural activity associated with depression, such as boosting connectivity between the frontal cortex and deeper brain regions, and by increasing activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and area of the brain implicated in the depressive systems such as inability to concentrate and enjoy activities. At Principium Psychiatry in Midtown Manhattan, Lower Manhattan, Greenwich, CT., and Santa Monica, CA., our clinicians evaluate each patient individually to determine whether TMS may be an appropriate treatment option as part of a personalized care plan.
Yes — Principium Psychiatry accepts insurance for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) treatment through many major insurance providers when medical criteria are met. TMS services are in-network with most major insurance providers.
If you’re not sure whether your current insurance provider covers TMS treatment, there are two ways to find out.
Call your insurance provider directly to ask them whether TMS is covered under your plan. You can also check for more information regarding the percentage of TMS treatment your insurance will cover, and whether you need preapproval before beginning therapy.
Your other option is to contact Principium Psychiatry for assistance. Give us a call at 917-993-5018 and let us know you’d like help finding out whether your insurance plan covers TMS. We’ll ask you a few preliminary questions about your treatment history and insurance information before contacting your insurance provider on your behalf.
We can help negotiate coverage with both in-network and out-of-network providers. Once we have a clear answer, we’ll get right back to you with all the details you need.
Once you understand how your insurance plan may cover treatment, you can schedule your first appointment with one of our providers. Our Patient Experience team can assist with submitting any required prior authorization forms to your insurance provider and help guide you through the coverage verification process while keeping you informed along the way.
