Is NeuroStar TMS Therapy Covered by Insurance?

 

This is the number one question that we receive from our clients.

NeuroStar TMS Therapy is being covered on a case by case basis, but not yet with Medicare at this point in time, hope and expect insurance and Medicare to cover without question in the future. Patients can work with their provider and the NeuroStar Care Connection (NCC) program to seek case-by-case coverage. The NCC is staffed by trained case managers to help providers and patients with the reimbursement process. Neuronetics, the developer of the NeuroStar system, has developed this program to help patients secure coverage and reimbursement for NeuroStar TMS Therapy.

The NeuroStar Care Connection program is available to you as part of the cost of the system. This program is necessary because new therapies like NeuroStar TMS Therapy are often not included in health insurance plans when they first become available to patients. It usually takes time for health insurance plans to establish coverage policies for newly approved technologies such as NeuroStar TMS Therapy. The objective for NeuroStar Care Connection program staff is to assist you in gaining access to NeuroStar TMS Therapy as quickly as possible by assisting in securing coverage and reimbursement.

In the mean time, out-of-pocket payment for NeuroStar TMS Therapy is required. Here are some options that we offer for patients seeking treatment with our NeuroStar TMS Therapy System. These programs assist the patient to receive TMS therapy as soon as possible.

• NeuroStar TMS Therapy can be paid from healthcare flexible spending account.
• Patients can also work with Clark Behavioral Health Financing to develop a financing plan, if needed. You can also find more information and a payment calculator at their website Clark Behavioral Health Financing
