SAINT TMS for Federal Employees
A five-day accelerated TMS treatment for depression — and what federal employees need to know about coverage.
What SAINT is — in plain terms
SAINT is an FDA-cleared TMS treatment that compresses what's usually a six-week course into five consecutive days. Instead of measuring on your scalp to estimate where to aim, SAINT uses an MRI scan to map your brain individually and find the exact spot to target. Then it delivers ten short sessions per day over five days.
Neuro Wellness TMS Centers of America is the only Verified SAINT Provider in Florida on Magnus Medical's official list — one of only seven in the United States.
Does your federal plan cover SAINT?
The federal program's medical policy specifically names the SAINT protocol. That's unusual — many commercial insurance plans still classify accelerated TMS as experimental. The federal plan does not.
But policy language isn't a guarantee of payment. SAINT uses newer billing codes that are still being adopted across the insurance industry. Your specific plan, your local Blue carrier, and your clinical documentation all matter. That's why we verify your benefits before you commit to anything.
What your plan looks for
Your federal health plan uses three main criteria to decide whether TMS — including SAINT — is medically necessary:
1. Severe depression, confirmed
Your diagnosis needs to be severe major depressive disorder, documented by your provider using standard rating tools.
2. Antidepressants haven't worked well enough
You've tried at least two antidepressants from different classes, for at least six weeks each at a proper dose, without enough improvement. Or you couldn't tolerate them, or you've responded to TMS before, or you're a candidate for ECT.
3. You've also tried therapy
You've had a trial of talk therapy known to be effective for depression, for an adequate length of time, documented by your provider.
What we do for you — at no cost
Our team verifies your benefits before any financial commitment. We contact your federal health plan, confirm whether SAINT is covered under your specific option, check prior authorization requirements, and give you a written summary of your costs — all before you commit. We submit the authorization and handle appeals if it's denied.
