Reasons for Insurance Coverage Denials

Insurance companies, including Medicare and Medicaid, will only cover TMS for adults who have been officially diagnosed with major depressive disorder. If you do not have proper documentation of this diagnosis, insurance companies have a right to deny coverage.

Some reasons Neuro TMS therapy in Springfield may be denied by insurance include the following:

• Being under 18 years of age
• Having seizure disorders or any history of seizures
• Having acute or chronic psychotic symptoms or disorders (such as schizophrenia, schizophreniform, or schizoaffective disorder) in the current depressive episode
• Having epilepsy, cerebrovascular disease, dementia, increased intracranial pressure, history of repetitive or severe head trauma, or primary or secondary tumors in the central nervous system
• Having magnetic-sensitive medical device implants that are placed near the location of the TMS magnetic coil

Any one of these reasons could result in a denial of insurance coverage. Our team can help you navigate the payment options process if you cannot get adequate coverage.
