At AMS Health & Wellness, we understand how you may be worried about how much your neurological treatment is going to cost. You have already tried other treatments and may have experienced significant out-of-pocket expenses.
Our transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy has been available and FDA-approved since 2008; so, insurance coverage for NeuroStar TMS Therapy in Houston is widely available. One of the few current exceptions is Texas Medicaid, which does not cover any form of TMS treatment, but we continue to hope that that will change.
Our physicians are in-network providers for most local insurance plans. Each plan can include or exclude TMS therapy as a covered treatment, so each individual insurance plan’s coverage must be confirmed.
Very recent changes at most insurance companies have eased the pre-TMS therapy treatment requirements. We recommend you call your insurer to verify if our physician is a provider on your insurance panel and find out whether they cover TMS therapy. You may be pleasantly surprised to discover you do meet the new requirements. Your insurer’s telephone number can be located on the back of your card and more information regarding your plan can be found on your insurance company’s comprehensive website.
At NeuroStar in Houston, we can help you determine and acquire insurance coverage for our TMS therapy services.
