What to Expect from TMS Therapy, From Start to Finish
If you suffer from severe depression, finding a real solution can be difficult. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, completely safe and ‘side effect free’ treatment that has proven very effective for depression. It works through a magnetic coil that targets problem areas of your brain. The treatment is completely painless; in fact, you may not feel anything at all.
Preliminary Phone Screening
If you’re interested in finding out whether TMS treatment is right for you, please take our quiz. If you’d like to commence treatment, please contact us for a preliminary phone screening.
During this initial conversation, we will gather some basic information and ask about your insurance coverage, as well as answer any questions you may have about undergoing TMS therapy at Mind Brain. Once we’ve contacted your insurance company, we will reach out to you again to discuss insurance coverage/payment options.
Pre-Treatment Evaluation
This consultation is a chance for Mind Brain to get to know you, your symptoms, and your medical history to determine if TMS therapy in Las Vegas is the best option for you, and to tell you more about the TMS treatment process. After this appointment, we will submit a pre-authorization to your insurance company and coordinate your insurance coverage. We are also able to work with you to arrange an out-of-pocket payment plan, if necessary.
Brain Mapping + First Treatment
The first step for successful TMS treatment is effective mapping of the patient’s brain to determine which point on the head should receive stimulation. During the mapping session, the technician will use the TMS device to send magnetic pulses and register the brain’s response until the optimal point is identified. This visit will take approximately 1.5 hours, and includes both the mapping process and the first TMS treatment.
6-Week Treatment Course
Patients come in for treatment five days per week (Monday-Friday) for six weeks. After mapping, subsequent sessions last approximately 20 minutes. Our treatment rooms are designed for your comfort, and we invite you to relax, watch television, or listen to your favorite music during sessions. Patients are asked to complete a weekly evaluation to measure progress. If determined necessary at any point during treatment, the technician may perform a re-mapping to improve treatment effectiveness.
3-Week Taper Period
After the six-week treatment course, there is a three-week taper period. Patients will need to come into the office for three TMS sessions in the seventh week, two sessions in the eighth week, and one final session in the ninth week.
Insurance Coverage for TMS
Almost all major insurance providers cover TMS. Even if we’re not in-network with your insurance provider, we’re able to negotiate coverage for TMS as an out-of-network provider with nearly any plan.
If insurance coverage isn’t an option, we can also work with you to develop an out-of-pocket payment plan to cover the cost of treatment. Contact us to learn more.
