Most patients pay far less than the sticker price for TMS because it's a covered medical treatment. Here's how coverage works in New York and how we verify your benefits before you commit to a course.
Yes — for treatment-resistant major depression, most major commercial insurers and Medicare cover transcranial magnetic stimulation. Coverage is well established because TMS is FDA-cleared and backed by years of published outcome data. Plans typically require that you have tried a certain number of antidepressant medications (often one to four) without adequate relief before they authorize a course.
Our office handles the prior-authorization paperwork for you. Before your first session, we contact your plan, confirm your specific requirements, and tell you in writing what your expected out-of-pocket cost will be.
A full course of TMS is roughly 30–36 sessions. Self-pay pricing varies by device and region, so rather than quote a number that may not match your plan, we give every patient a clear written estimate up front. If you're uninsured or your plan denies coverage, contact our office and we'll walk through self-pay options.
