COST
TMS for Depression:
TMS is covered under Medicare for treatment-resistant depression only. That means that patients who have tried at least two types of antidepressants (each from a separate class) will receive their TMS treatment sessions with no out-of-pocket cost. Generally, the only out-of-pocket costs are any GP consultations with Dr David Tadj. Consultation fees are as follows.
