Does Insurance Cover TMS?

TMS for depression is now covered by most insurance companies in Washington state.

Call your insurance company to see what your behavioral health coverage is for TMS.

Brainsway now offers assistance through their reimbursement specialists.  Call 1-844-DEEPTMS for assistance or contact us directly.

After being FDA approved for the treatment of depression in 2008, many insurance companies have started covering TMS.  All coverage is subject to your deductible, co-pays, and coinsurance, depending on your specific plan.  We are glad to help you inquire about your coverage, but encourage you to know what your benefits and any out-of-pocket expenses will be.  If you have any questions or would like assistance with your insurance coverage details, call us at 206-535-6292, or email us at info@pacificcns.com.

Most plans require prior authorization and proof of medical necessity as established by a medical provider.  We will help you learn what the criteria requirements are under your plan prior to scheduling a full consultation with one of our TMS Psychiatrists.

Please note insurance processing time for pre-authorization requests can vary from 2-3 days to 2-3 weeks. Treatment start dates are scheduled after obtaining authorization approval.
