How to find the best TMS therapy clinic near you?
We will discuss the main factors that make a TMS clinic good quality. Then, we will discuss finding and locating TMS clinics near you in Tampa, Florida. Lastly, I will list all TMS clinics and rank them to compare to each other.
The Five Pillars For The Ultimate TMS Center Of Excellence:
#1 TMS Doctor
We always advise our patients to know who their TMS doctor is. You should also know how involved the TMS doctor will be in providing your TMS therapy. In other words, you need a TMS doctor who is hands-on in managing, supervising, and adjusting your particular TMS treatment protocol.
#2 TMS Technology
Well, that's a self-explanatory one. Because a TMS machine delivers TMS treatment, you want to ensure that your treatment is delivered via a high-quality FDA-approved TMS device. Not all TMS devices are created equal. For example, Florida TMS Clinic uses one of the most advanced 3D Navigated TMS technology which helps us make sure that every single pulse is delivered precisely where it was planned. This Navigation TMS technology is not available anywhere else in the Tampa Bay area. That doesn't mean that other TMS machines are not effective. They are also effective; otherwise, they would not be cleared by the FDA. It just means that there is always a good option and a better option. Why would you settle for anything less than the best if you had the choice?
#3 TMS Staff
This is a big one. Your TMS treatment sessions are going to be delivered by your TMS therapist. You're going to see this person daily for six weeks. You want to make sure that you're comfortable and happy with this person. You also want to ensure that the TMS psychiatrist will train this TMS therapist to use that particular TMS device. Let me give you another example of what Florida TMS Clinic does. All of our TMS therapists are certified by the TMS device manufacturer. All of our TMS therapists are BLS certified. And despite their excellent experience in delivering TMS therapy, they are still always supervised by the physician who supervises their performance via the navigation system and video cameras. All staff undergoes a quarterly evaluation to demonstrate their knowledge of TMS therapy’s most up-to-date knowledge and advances.
#4 TMS Insurance Specialist
The TMS insurance specialist is the person who presents your case to your health insurance to get your TMS therapy prior-authorized or pre-approved. The TMS insurance specialist needs to be very knowledgeable and detail-oriented; otherwise, your insurance may deny your TMS prior-authorization. This could mean a significant delay in your TMS therapy. Florida TMS Clinic has a meager rate of denials from insurance. When insurance denies a TMS case, it's almost always for an illegitimate reason as we only request prior-authorization for fully qualifying patients. Our doctor always takes the case peer-to-peer. If a peer-to-peer review doesn't turn around the denial, the doctor will take it to the appeal level. The only time we will stop is when the patient does not want us to proceed further. Otherwise, we always fight for the patient to get their TMS approved.
#5 TMS Cost
The good news is that almost all insurances cover TMS therapy costs. But not everybody has insurance. We still have patients who pay out-of-pocket for their TMS treatment. The cost of TMS therapy could be prohibitive for some. For this reason, Florida TMS Clinic offers a reasonable rate to uninsured patients. Speaking of cost, you need to know about the cost of TMS “add-on” treatments. You see, the FDA-approved protocol targets the left side of the brain, which is used for depression. Often, patients will have depression and anxiety at the same time. These patients with co-occurring anxiety might need an “add-on” treatment protocol targeting the right brain. This means using an extra treatment session every day. Most TMS clinics charge extra for this extra time on the chair. Florida TMS Clinic doesn’t charge additional fees for “add-on” treatments. It is complimentary.
Now that you know how to evaluate TMS clinics in your area let’s list all the TMS clinics providing TMS Therapy in the Tampa Bay area.
