Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Are you ready to put an end to your depression?

Information

What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation SAINT Therapy?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) with SAINT Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to bring hope to patients struggling with depression, especially when medications or traditional therapies haven’t provided relief. Unlike medications that affect the whole body, TMS focuses directly on the brain areas responsible for regulating mood.

The treatment uses a specialized set of magnets that deliver gentle, non-painful pulses. What makes SAINT Therapy unique is the integration of cutting-edge 4-dimensional cameras and individualized brain mapping. This technology allows us to locate the precise region of your brain where depression symptoms are most active—sometimes referred to as the “target area.” By tailoring treatment to your unique brain map, therapy is highly focused and personalized for you.

Once your target area is identified through fMRI and advanced imaging, TMS delivers magnetic pulses directly to that spot. These pulses stimulate underactive brain cells, “waking them up” and helping the brain re-establish healthier activity patterns. Because the treatment is non-invasive, there are no needles, no anesthesia, and virtually no downtime—you can return to your daily activities right after your session.

Who is Eligible for TMS with SAINT Therapy?

TMS with SAINT Therapy is designed for patients who meet specific criteria to ensure the treatment is safe and effective. You may be a candidate if:

- You have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

- You have not found relief from traditional treatments, such as SSRI antidepressant medications

- You are medically able to undergo a functional MRI (fMRI) of the brain to help map the treatment area

How Long is the Treatment?

TMS with SAINT Therapy is designed as an intensive but short-term program.

- 50 treatment sessions are delivered over the course of just 5 days

- Each session lasts about 10 minutes

- After each session, there is a 50-minute rest period before the next one begins

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Health Insurance Cover TMS with SAINT Therapy?

Yes. Most health insurance companies recognize TMS with SAINT Therapy because it is an FDA-approved treatment for depression.

Before treatment begins, our team will work with your insurance carrier to determine your coverage. To start this process, we’ll need your authorization, which can be completed easily during your initial consultation. Once we have that, we’ll handle the paperwork and communication with your insurance provider on your behalf.

Please note: coverage and approval requirements can vary by insurance company, so the exact process and timeline may differ. Our team will keep you informed every step of the way and help make it as smooth as possible.

Does Medicare Cover SAINT TMS Therapy?

Yes! Medicare does cover SAINT TMS Therapy, and the best part is that it does not require prior authorization. This means the process moves much faster, allowing us to schedule your treatment without delays and get you started on your path to relief right away.

If you do not have insurance, or prefer to pay directly, we offer flexible self-pay and financing options.

To get started, we require a $5,000 down payment. This allows us to schedule your brain fMRI and set up your treatment sessions.
