For Medicare recipients in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, and throughout South Florida, the answer is yes — NeuroStar TMS therapy is covered by Medicare for qualifying patients. Here is everything you need to know about Medicare coverage for TMS in Florida.
Medicare Coverage for NeuroStar TMS in Florida
Medicare covers NeuroStar TMS therapy nationwide under Medicare Part B for patients who meet specific clinical criteria. Coverage is available for beneficiaries diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder who have not achieved satisfactory improvement from at least one antidepressant medication in the current depressive episode. This coverage has been in place for over a decade and is well-established throughout Florida.
What Medicare Part B Pays for TMS
Under Medicare Part B, NeuroStar TMS sessions are covered as outpatient medical services. Your standard Part B deductible and coinsurance apply. After your deductible is met, Medicare typically covers 80% of the approved amount. If you have a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan, it may cover the remaining 20% — effectively making your out-of-pocket cost minimal or zero.
Medicare Advantage Plans in South Florida
Many South Florida seniors carry Medicare Advantage plans. TMS coverage under Medicare Advantage varies by specific plan. Our team at New Sunrise Mental Health verifies your exact Medicare Advantage benefits directly with your insurer before your first appointment. Do not assume your plan does not cover TMS before checking — coverage is more common than most Florida patients expect.
Prior Authorization for Florida Medicare Patients
Medicare typically requires prior authorization for TMS therapy, including documentation that you have tried antidepressant medication without adequate results. This is a standard step — not a barrier. Our Boca Raton team gathers the necessary documentation and manages the entire prior authorization process on your behalf at no additional charge.
