Understand the proposed treatment

A consultation for depression that has not improved with other care should review both your treatment history and your current needs. TMS, short for transcranial magnetic stimulation, uses magnetic pulses and is noninvasive. Sessions are typically delivered while you are awake; suitability and scheduling depend on clinician assessment.

Ask how screening addresses a history of seizures, implanted devices, and metal in or near the head. Provide a current medication list and discuss recent changes in health. Questions about expected sensations, possible side effects, and how improvement will be measured can help make the recommendation clearer.

Coordinate work and insurance early

Typical TMS courses require weekday visits over several weeks, although individualized protocols may differ. Ask for the proposed frequency and total appointment time before requesting a recurring work adjustment or arranging caregiving help. Also clarify when the plan will be reassessed and how interruptions could affect it.

Insurance questions should be specific: Is the treating provider in network? Is prior authorization required? What documentation of previous depression treatment is needed? Ask who submits the request and whether a change in the number of sessions would require further approval. Confirm the answers for your particular plan and proposed course.
