BrainsWay Deep TMS(Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)

FAQs

    • Deep TMS is particularly beneficial for individuals who haven't responded to other treatments like medication or psychotherapy.

    • Individuals with metal implants near the head or past of seizures, are unable to receive treatment.

    • The initial mapping session lasts approximately 60 minutes. Following this, individual treatment sessions are scheduled daily over a period of 4-6 weeks for 20 minutes.

    • Most people begin to notice some improvements from Deep TMS within 2-4 weeks, though some may respond sooner or later. Full benefits typically appear by the end of the 6-8 week course. Completing the entire treatment is key to achieving the best and most lasting results.

  • Coverage for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

    • Most major insurance providers we accept — including United Healthcare, Mass General, Tufts, Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, and Anthem — now cover Deep TMS treatment for depression and OCD. The approval process for this treatment typically takes between 1 to 2 weeks.

      Coverage typically requires:

    • A formal MDD or OCD diagnosis.

    • Documentation of failed trials (usually 2 or more) of antidepressants or psychotherapy.

    • Prior authorization from your provider.

    • BrainsWay’s Deep TMS therapy goes one step further with its own patented technology. BrainsWays unique H-Coil lined device manages to directly stimulate brain structures found deeper in the brain, enabling treatment of mental health conditions beyond depression.

    • Studies suggest higher response and remission rates compared to traditional TMS. Among patients who completed at least 30 sessions, greater than 4 in 5 achieved response and approximately 2 in 3 achieved remission.
