We will ask that you bring a list of all prior treatments and medications and note any side effects associated with each. We will gather a detailed history of your condition and determine if TMS is right for you. If you have someone that may be of assistance with understanding your options and assist with providing history. You will also have an opportunity to see the device and understand exactly what the TMS treatment process will involve.
2. Insurance and Verify Coverage
After your free initial consultation, we will seek prior authorization from your insurance and verify coverage. You will be informed of all associated costs in advance of any treatments. Once all arrangements have been made, you will meet with our physician who will assure that this the best medical intervention for you and review your information gathered at the initial consultation.
