NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy became FDA-cleared in 2008. Since then, most insurance companies have adopted a positive attitude toward TMS therapy, so insurance coverage for NeuroStar TMS therapy treatments in Minneapolis usually exists. In Minnesota, most major insurance companies cover TMS therapy. Our board-certified physician, Olukayode Oladele Awosika, MD, is an in-network provider for the majority of local insurance plans:
If your insurance company is not on this list, we can help determine if you have coverage. A phone call to your insurance plan will tell us what we need to know.
Each specific insurance plan can include or exclude coverage for TMS therapy for any given problem. Your employer chooses which insurance plans are available to their workers. If you have a list of plans to choose from, we can help you find out what each will cover so that you can choose wisely. Even if you have an insurance plan from an insurance company that routinely covers TMS, you still need to do a final check to ensure the coverage in your specific health insurance plan.
You may be worried because you heard there are specific requirements that you must meet to have coverage for TMS therapy. Do not fret; we already know about those requirements, so our clinicians will document your mental health problem properly and all the difficulties you have had with other treatments—including any of the medications you have already tried. We usually have everything your insurance plan will need to clear coverage for you.
The most frequent insurance requirement for NeuroStar TMS therapy is that you have tried and failed to find relief from at least one prescription medication. Sometimes, the insurance plan will want you to try a variety of prescription drugs before moving on to trying TMS therapy. We will help you jump through all necessary hoops so that you will have the best coverage for TMS treatments in Minneapolis from your insurance plan.
Because insurance coverage is so important, NeuroStar has a reimbursement support program. Their reimbursement managers will work closely with our staff in Minneapolis and you to determine your exact insurance benefits. NeuroStar reimbursement managers are available to discuss the insurance coverage process and will help verify your insurance benefits.
