Insurance-Covered TMS
Our Approach
At Texas 360 TMS, we believe that effective mental health treatment should be accessible to everyone. That's why we accept most major insurance plans for our FDA-approved TMS therapy, making this life-changing treatment available to more people throughout the Lakeway, Texas community and beyond.
What is TMS?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression and other mental health conditions. Unlike medications that affect the entire brain, TMS can precisely target specific circuits involved in depression, creating lasting changes in how brain cells are wired together.
Insurance Coverage We Accept
We are currently in-network with:
- Optum
- Blue Cross Blue Shield
- Aetna
- Ambetter
- Baylor Scott and White
- Magellan
We are actively working to become in-network with most major insurances. Our network is continuously expanding, so even if your insurance isn't listed above, please call us or schedule an initial consultation to discuss your coverage options.
The Traditional TMS Treatment Schedule
Insurance-covered TMS typically follows an optimal treatment course of 36 sessions:
- Initial Phase: 30 sessions completed at the rate of 3-5 sessions per week
- Maintenance Phase: 6 sessions completed at the rate of 2 sessions per week
Each session is brief and non-invasive, allowing you to return to your normal activities immediately afterward. The effects build up gradually over multiple sessions and can last long after treatment ends.
Who Can Benefit from Insurance-Covered TMS?
TMS is FDA-approved to treat:
- Major Depressive Disorder (especially treatment-resistant depression)
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
- Anxiety Co-Morbid with Depression
Insurance companies typically require that you have tried previous pharmacological treatments (antidepressant medications) and/or talk therapy for your depression before approving TMS coverage.
What to Expect with Insurance Coverage
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation has been shown to be an effective treatment option for individuals struggling with depression and other mental health conditions, especially when traditional treatments like medication or therapy haven't brought relief. Many patients experience significant improvement in their symptoms, and some achieve full remission.
Prior Authorization Process:
Insurance companies typically require prior authorization for TMS treatment. Our team will work with you and your insurance provider to secure this authorization. While this process can take some time, we're experienced in navigating insurance requirements and will assist you every step of the way.
Safety and Effectiveness
TMS therapy is very safe. The safety of TMS continues to be supported by meta-analyses of the published literature. It has been used for thousands of patients with minimal side effects. TMS is backed by clinical research and is FDA-cleared for treatment-resistant depression and other conditions.
At Texas 360 TMS, we tailor each treatment plan to your unique needs using advanced technology and personalized targeting to help you achieve the best possible outcome. We are committed to being communicative, understanding, and efficient in supporting your wellness journey.
