TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) treatments really work

The first step is to get a referral and recommendation from a psychiatrist. Then you can get the approval of Medicare before starting the treatments. The place where I had them done scheduled a consult and it went from there. I wish you well and I believe TMS can make a big difference in getting your life back. Please let me know how you do.

I didn’t need an order or referral. The location I used did a consult , submitted to insurance . Insurance approved 35 visits. Total cost $15,000 -18,000 I have a high deductible BCBS and had to pay $1800 out of pocket.
Unfortunately bad timing , well maybe but dealing with the pain of a newly dx herniated discs in several areas of my back so anxiety & depression increased. So part of me thinks it doesn’t stand a fair chance for the effectiveness of the TMS and maybe I needed it now more than any time.
Stay strong ! Sure wish you success and much peace & relievement.
