I believe TMS for depression is not routinely covered by many insurances. Definitely not covered for the treatment of chronic pain.

You would save yourself lots of money by trying tDCS yourself.

Just my humble opinion.
Hi ballerina,
Thanks for the response. I had no idea TMS carries the risk of seizure. That is not something I need to add to my list of diagnoses. Yes, you are right, I would hate to shell out a bunch of money just to be a guinea pig (not that I haven't done it before, but I would like to avoid it again).
Thanks for all your help!
