TMS therapy: FAQ
What is TMS therapy?
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses magnetic pulses from a coil held against the scalp to stimulate the brain regions involved in mood. It's non-invasive and needs no anesthesia, so you can drive yourself to and from sessions. TMS has been FDA-cleared for major depression since 2008 and for obsessive-compulsive disorder since 2018.
How long does a course of TMS take?
A standard course is five sessions a week for four to six weeks — often 30 to 36 sessions — sometimes followed by a short taper. Each session takes roughly 20–40 minutes, or a few minutes with theta-burst protocols. Accelerated protocols such as SAINT compress treatment into about five days.
Does insurance cover TMS?
Medicare and most commercial insurers cover TMS for major depression when antidepressants haven't worked — typically after trials of at least two medications from different classes, often alongside psychotherapy. Prior authorization is usually required, and the clinic generally handles it.
How much does TMS cost without insurance?
Providers that publish self-pay prices charge a median of about $215 per session (most between $100 and $250) and about $6,600 for a full course (most between $6,000 and $9,250). Prices vary by region, device and protocol, and many clinics offer cash-pay packages or financing — ask for a full-course quote.
What are the side effects of TMS?
The most common are headache and scalp discomfort at the treatment site, which usually ease after the first week or two. Seizures are very rare. People with non-removable metal in or near the head (such as aneurysm clips or cochlear implants) generally can't have TMS.
