Understanding TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a new, non-invasive way to treat Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and other conditions that haven’t responded to other methods. It works by stimulating nerve cells in the brain with magnetic fields, focusing on areas that help control mood and deal with depression.
The treatment is becoming more popular because it works and doesn’t have any serious side effects. It gives people who haven’t found relief from medication or therapy hope.
UnitedHealthcare Coverage for TMS Therapy
Through its Optum health services platform, UnitedHealthcare (UHC) covers TMS therapy in some circumstances. Patients usually have to be 18 years or older, have been diagnosed with severe major depressive disorder, not responded well to at least two antidepressants, and have tried psychotherapy but failed.
Updates to UHC’s policies have made it easier for patients to get TMS therapy by cutting the number of failed medication trials from four to two and getting rid of the need for a psychotherapy trial.
