In order to provide our patients with more optimal care, TMS Center Los Angeles is a private pay office and will be considered an out-of-network provider for insurance. However, we do offer courtesy billing in which we submit super-bills with procedure and diagnosis codes to your specific insurance company.
Health insurance companies are increasingly covering TMS treatment. Some may require prior authorization or an appeals process to consider if criteria for reimbursement of TMS treatment as medically necessary are met.
Throughout this reimbursement process, we are committed to providing our patients with assistance in obtaining prior authorizations from their insurance companies for TMS treatment with us.
Many health insurance companies have established policies and their criteria for coverage of TMS treatment for depression. Call us today, and through our in person or virtual consult we can go over your coverage criteria and benefits for TMS therapy.

MediCare Reimbursement:
TMS Center Los Angeles has opted-out of Medicare therefore our patients cannot submit our superbills to MediCare for reimbursement.
Costs:
The costs of a course of TMS treatment varies based on the number of treatment sessions an individual patient requires for effective treatment of their condition.
TMS Center LA will review your history and discuss the costs during a confidential meeting. At that time, we can review financing and payment options.
Effective treatment of depression is an investment; the up-front costs of TMS treatment pale in comparison to the long-term economic and interpersonal impacts from ineffective treatment.
