Understanding insurance coverage for mental health treatments can feel complicated, especially when you are considering innovative therapies like ketamine infusions and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

Does Insurance Cover TMS Therapy?
TMS therapy is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression and has broader insurance coverage compared to ketamine therapy. Many major insurance providers, including those serving Coeur d’Alene and surrounding areas, cover TMS treatments if you meet specific eligibility criteria.
Common requirements often include:
A formal diagnosis of major depressive disorder
Proof of trying at least two or more antidepressant medications without success
Completion of a recent psychiatric evaluation
Our team can help you determine whether you qualify for TMS insurance coverage and guide you through any required documentation.

Out-of-Pocket Payment Options
For treatments not covered by insurance, we believe cost should not be a barrier to care. At our clinic, we offer several options to make ketamine and TMS more accessible, including:
Use of HSA or FSA accounts
Transparent pricing upfront so there are no surprise
We also work with CareCredit
Programs That Support Veterans and First Responders
Through our partnership with the Patriot Power Up Program, we provide CTK therapy — a combined approach using TMS and ketamine — for veterans and first responders struggling with PTSD, depression, and traumatic brain injuries (TBI). This collaboration allows us to connect qualifying patients with additional resources and potential referral pathways that may help offset the cost of treatment.
If you are a veteran or first responder, ask our team about referral options and special program benefits.
