Insurance, Authorization, and What You'll Pay
Quick Answer
Bluebird TMS accepts most major commercial insurance plans and is a TRICARE-authorized provider. Before TMS or SPRAVATO® begins, our team verifies your benefits and submits the prior authorization; ketamine therapy is generally self-pay, with the cost given in writing.
Employer plans
Most of our patients are covered through an employer plan. Those plans typically require a major depressive disorder diagnosis, documented prior antidepressant trials, and a current symptom score before authorizing TMS or SPRAVATO®. We collect that at your evaluation and submit it; you do not chase it.
What you pay
Your share depends on your deductible, copay, and coinsurance, and on where you are in your plan year. We give you an estimate before treatment starts, and we will tell you if timing a course before or after a deductible resets changes the number.
Self-pay
Rates are available for evaluations, TMS, and ketamine therapy; ask at your consultation.
