Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive treatment for depression that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. This FDA-approved therapy has shown significant success in treating patients with depression, especially those who have not responded to traditional treatments like medication and psychotherapy.

Insurance Coverage for rTMS

Many insurance companies recognize the effectiveness of rTMS therapy in treating depression and now offer coverage for this treatment. This is mainly due to the growing body of evidence supporting rTMS as a safe and effective alternative for managing depression. Coverage may vary by provider, so it's essential to check with your insurance company for specific details.
