What TMS is
A drug-free depression treatment, available in Texas since 2008
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-cleared, non-drug treatment for depression that has been offered in Texas since shortly after its 2008 clearance. It uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the region of the brain that regulates mood and that is measurably underactive in many people with treatment-resistant depression. A standard course runs five days a week for six weeks, each session lasting between three and thirty-seven minutes depending on the protocol. There is no anesthesia, no sedation and no recovery time — most patients drive themselves to and from appointments and go straight back to work.
This site exists because finding a TMS provider in Texas is harder than it should be. Clinics cluster in Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio and thin out fast across West Texas, the Panhandle and the Rio Grande Valley, insurance requirements differ between Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare and Medicare, and clinic websites rarely publish the details that actually matter: which coil they use, whether they offer accelerated protocols, and how long the wait is.
FDA-cleared and non-invasive
No sleep medicine. No downtime. Most people drive home and go right back to work.
Covered by every major TX insurer
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare and Medicare all cover TMS for depression. You usually need to have tried other care first.
Six weeks, five days a week
A standard course is 36 short visits. Some clinics offer faster plans that take days, not weeks.

Insurance
What Texas insurers require before they approve TMS
Every major insurer operating in Texas covers TMS for major depressive disorder, but all of them require documented failure of prior treatment first. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas, the largest commercial carrier in the state, generally expects trials of multiple antidepressants from more than one class plus a course of psychotherapy. Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare and Humana typically require two to four failed medication trials. Medicare covers TMS in Texas under the local coverage determination administered by Novitas Solutions, the Medicare contractor for Jurisdiction H, which requires trials of four medications or documented intolerance. Coverage under Texas Medicaid and the STAR managed care plans is far more limited than commercial coverage and prior authorization is strict — confirm with the clinic before you start. Most Texas clinics handle the authorization paperwork for you — ask before your consultation.
