Tricare May Cover You for Depression Treatment
In most cases, Tricare insurance policies cover TMS treatment and Spravato for treatment-resistant major depressive disorder and sometimes TMS for OCD
We will help you work with your insurance provider if you are seeking TMS treatment for depression or depression combined with other conditions such as PTSD. This begins with a required evaluation by a physician at the TMS Institute. Following this evaluation, clinic notes are sent to the patient’s insurance provider for initiation of the prior authorization procedure.
