Ask the office how far ahead appointments are scheduled and whether a consistent time can be requested, without assuming that your preferred slot will be available.

A consultation tailored to your history

Depression that has not improved with other care deserves a careful review of previous treatment and current needs. TMS is a noninvasive treatment using magnetic pulses, typically while you remain awake. A clinician determines whether it is suitable and recommends the protocol and schedule.

Many conventional courses involve weekday visits over several weeks. Individualized approaches can differ, so obtain a proposed calendar before arranging time away from work or help with children. Ask how long each appointment takes, when progress is reviewed, and how TMS would fit with ongoing medication management or therapy.

Prepare records and questions

Bring your medication list, previous treatment details, and information about implanted devices or metal near your head. Ask how seizure history and other neurological concerns are evaluated, what side effects to expect, and which changes in your health should prompt a call before the next visit.

For coverage, ask your insurer whether authorization is required and whether the provider is in network. Ask the office which records it submits, how approval is communicated, and whether additional visits require another review. Clarify possible patient responsibility before committing to the travel and scheduling demands of a course.
