Check my insurance
Let’s find out what your plan covers.
Most commercial insurance plans have a policy that covers TMS for major depression, usually after other treatments haven’t helped. Coverage for other conditions, and for accelerated schedules, is reviewed plan by plan and may be self-pay.
It costs nothing to check, and nothing is booked until you’ve heard from us.

How it works
- First, we check your benefits.
We contact your insurer to confirm your eligibility and what your plan covers for TMS, including any copay, coinsurance or deductible. For that we need your insurance company, your member ID, the plan holder’s name and date of birth, and a phone number we can reach you on. A photo of the front and back of your card helps, but it’s optional.
- Then, a conversation with our nurse practitioner.
You’ll have an evaluation by telehealth with our psychiatric nurse practitioner, who’ll talk with you about your history, what you’ve tried and what you’re hoping for.
- Next, we ask your insurer for approval.
We prepare and submit the prior authorization for you, usually for 30 or 36 treatments. It usually takes between 1 and 10 business days, and we’ll call you as soon as we hear.
- Last, your assessments are scheduled.
Once you’re approved, we arrange your MRI at an imaging center near you, your brainwave map (qEEG) in our clinic, and a few short questionnaires, so your treatment can be planned around you.
If your plan doesn’t cover it, we’ll tell you plainly and explain the self-pay options before anything is booked. You won’t be charged for checking.
A benefits check isn’t a guarantee of payment; your insurer makes the final decision. Before you start, we’ll also tell you about anything your plan may not cover, such as imaging or a brain map.
What we’ll need from you
Everything is on your insurance card or in your plan’s app. If the plan is in someone else’s name, such as a partner or a parent, we’ll need their name and date of birth too.
- Your insurance company
As printed on the card.
- Your member ID
Sometimes called a subscriber or policy number.
- The plan holder
Their name and date of birth.
- Your card
A photo of the front and back, if you can. It’s optional.
- Your phone
So we can call you with what we find.
If you’re thinking about suicide or are in crisis, please call or text 988, any time, day or night.
