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.
The treatment works by directing recurring magnetic pulses toward parts of the brain that control your mood. When done repeatedly, the magnetic pulses can improve the communication between these various regions of the brain, easing depression symptoms and boosting your mood. The treatment providers at Principium, located in midtown Manhattan, provide exceptional TMS therapy to patients in need of effective care for depression.
Absolutely — Principium Psychiatry can cover patients with a variety of different insurance plans. If we are out-of-network, we can try to contract with the insurance company on a case-by-case basis to ensure coverage for your TMS treatment.
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 will cover treatment, you can move to the next step by scheduling your first appointment with Dr. Cohen and the team at Principium. We’ll submit the necessary preauthorization forms to your insurance provider and organize your coverage while keeping you closely informed.
