Conditions Treated at CNY TMS
TMS therapy is covered by insurance for adult patients with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder who have not responded satisfactorily to antidepressant medications. Each insurance has their own set of guidelines in order for TMS to be covered. Below is the minimum criteria for the majority of payers:
- A documented diagnosis of MDD, severe, without psychosis (CPT Codes F33.2 or F32.2)
- Documentation of (2) or more antidepressant medication trials at maximum doses
- Documented history of psychotherapy trial
CNY TMS also treats a number of conditions not yet covered by insurance where there is strong research that shows transcranial magnetic stimulation as an effective treatment option. These conditions include:
- ADHD
- Generalized anxiety disorder
- Bipolar disorder
- Borderline personality disorder
- Alzheimer's disease
For more information about transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) research, please refer to links below.

BD is linked to 2% of our population and is accompanied by high rates of suicide. BD demands effective treatment, but not all patients respond to medications.

BPD affects nearly 6% of our adult population and BPD can be difficult to treat. Research has shown a positive link between TMS and BPD.
