In the U.S., BrainsWay’s Deep TMS treatment is covered by Medicare and nearly all major private insurers to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), anxious depression, and late-life depression. Many insurers also cover Deep TMS treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Currently, smoking addiction treatment is not covered.
Outside of the U.S., the cost to patients for Deep TMS treatment is variable, depending on the specific country and health coverage structure. Speak to your mental health provider or health insurer to better understand the costs that you would incur.
In order to be eligible for Deep TMS treatment, a person battling a mental health condition must meet the requirements defined by their insurance provider, which are informed by the specific FDA clearances for Deep TMS.
Appropriate diagnosis with sufficient severity
Insufficient benefit from a trial of psychotherapy
Insufficient improvement with trial(s) of medication or inability to tolerate side effects
No contraindications for Deep TMS
Prior authorization is typically required to initiate Deep TMS treatment. Healthcare providers offering Deep TMS should become credentialed with the insurance carrier. Out-of-network providers, or those seeking patient coverage for non-covered TMS treatment, can seek single case agreements.
Patient costs for TMS treatment can involve copays per session or co-insurance, taking into account deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums.
Contact your insurance provider to learn about eligibility for Deep TMS treatment under your specific plan.
