How much does TMS therapy cost in Las Vegas?
The total cost of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in Las Vegas depends on your insurance plan and treatment length. TMS is an FDA-cleared therapy for major depressive disorder that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate mood-regulating areas of the brain. It’s often an option when antidepressants haven’t worked.
A typical course of treatment includes:
- Daily sessions, five days a week, for 4-6 weeks
- A tapering phase with less frequent sessions
Before you begin, we will provide a clear cost breakdown based on your specific benefits.
Does insurance cover TMS therapy?
Yes, most major insurance plans cover TMS therapy for treatment-resistant depression. Calm Clinic is in-network with most insurers, including straight Medicare and Medicaid. Before your first appointment, we contact your insurance company to verify your coverage and give you a clear estimate of your costs. Coverage depends on your plan, and prior authorization is often required. Our team can help you understand these requirements to navigate the process.
What if I want to pay without insurance?
Our self-pay rate is $150 per visit. This straightforward price applies to your initial consultation and all following TMS sessions. Your care starts with an evaluation with a licensed provider to determine if TMS is a good fit for you. If you decide to proceed, you’ll begin the treatment course. Many people start to feel a difference in their symptoms around the third or fourth week of treatment.
Is TMS therapy safe and am I a good candidate?
Yes, TMS is considered a safe treatment with mild, temporary side effects. The National Institute of Mental Health notes the most common are headaches or scalp discomfort. This therapy is for adults with major depressive disorder who have not found relief from at least one antidepressant medication. However, TMS is not for everyone. You should not receive TMS if you have a history of seizures or have non-removable metal implants in or near your head, such as aneurysm clips, cochlear implants, or implanted devices like pacemakers or stimulators. Standard dental fillings and braces are not an issue.
