Quick answer: what Ampa One TMS costs
A standard Ampa One course is billed like other TMS for depression and is commonly covered by insurance after prior authorization. Accelerated and one-day schedules are newer, emerging protocols, so most plans do not cover them yet, and those are typically self-pay. We quote your exact self-pay price at your free consultation. The most useful number is your real out-of-pocket cost after benefits, which we verify for free before you commit.

How insurance works for TMS
TMS for depression is billed with CPT codes 90867 (initial treatment), 90868 (subsequent treatment), and 90869 (final treatment). Plans usually require a major depressive disorder diagnosis, documented failed antidepressant trials, and prior authorization before approving TMS. A standard Ampa One course meets these requirements the same way any FDA-cleared TMS does.
Accelerated and one-day schedules are newer, so most plans do not have a payment policy for them yet, which is why they are typically self-pay. Coverage varies by plan. We verify your benefits for free so you know what applies before you start.
Medicare, VA, and the plans we accept
Standard TMS for depression is a covered Medicare benefit when criteria are met. We confirm your specific Medicare and plan participation at your free consultation. For commercial plans and the VA, see Cost & Insurance and SAINT® TMS Insurance Coverage. We verify your specific plan for free.
HSA/FSA, financing, and payment plans
Many patients use HSA or FSA funds for the patient-responsibility portion of TMS (copays, coinsurance, or self-pay), because TMS for depression is a qualified medical expense. We confirm whether we accept HSA/FSA and which financing or payment plans we offer at your consultation. Financing is available case by case.
Why the total cost can be lower than it looks
An accelerated or one-day schedule means fewer days off work, fewer trips to the clinic, and less childcare and travel — which can lower the real total cost of treatment compared with a standard six-week course. For patients traveling from outside South Florida, see Ampa One TMS in Florida.

Understanding SAINT® TMS: How It Works & What to Expect
SAINT® is an FDA-cleared treatment for adults with major depressive disorder who have not improved on antidepressants in the current episode. These videos explain how it works and how it differs from conventional TMS.
SAINT® is an FDA-cleared, fMRI-guided form of TMS developed at Stanford. Most patients complete treatment in one week — not the six weeks standard TMS requires.

Is SAINT® TMS Right for You?
Tried antidepressants without enough relief? SAINT® TMS is an FDA-cleared, fMRI-guided treatment for adults with major depressive disorder who have not improved enough with antidepressant medication.
SAINT® uses a personalized brain target and delivers treatment over five consecutive days. It differs from standard TMS in its targeting approach, treatment schedule, and research background. In a small randomized trial, 11 of 14 people receiving active treatment reached remission at the four-week assessment, compared with 2 of 15 receiving sham treatment. Results vary, and a five-day treatment course does not guarantee remission in five days.
How SAINT® Works and How It Differs From Conventional TMS
SAINT® is an FDA-cleared treatment for adults with major depressive disorder who have not improved on antidepressants in the current episode. This video explains how it works, and how it differs from conventional TMS.
Conventional TMS usually means about 30 visits over 6 to 9 weeks. SAINT is five visits over five days.
What makes it different: SAINT® uses an fMRI brain scan to personalize the stimulation target to your individual brain. A 45-minute scan maps your brain and identifies the specific circuit linked to depression. Treatment is then delivered as ten 10-minute sessions per day, with 50-minute breaks between them, across five consecutive days.
In clinical trials, 79% of participants reached remission, with an average of 2.6 days to remission. SAINT is generally well tolerated; the most common side effects reported were mild headache and temporary scalp discomfort at the treatment site.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Ampa One TMS cost?
A standard Ampa One course is billed like other TMS and is commonly covered by insurance after prior authorization. Accelerated and one-day schedules are typically self-pay, and we quote your exact self-pay price at your free consultation. We verify your insurance benefits for free before you commit, so you know your real cost up front.
Is Ampa One covered by insurance?
A standard Ampa One course for depression is commonly covered by insurance after prior authorization, because TMS for major depressive disorder is a covered benefit on most plans. Accelerated and one-day schedules are newer, so most plans do not cover them yet, and those are typically self-pay. Coverage varies by plan, and we verify your benefits for free.
Does Medicare cover Ampa One?
Standard TMS for depression is a covered Medicare benefit when criteria are met (a depression diagnosis and prior antidepressant trials). Ampa One is an FDA-cleared TMS device, so a standard course billed as TMS may be covered by Medicare. Accelerated and one-day schedules are not separately covered by Medicare. We verify your specific plan and Medicare participation at your free consultation. Coverage varies by plan.
Can I use my HSA or FSA for Ampa TMS?
Many patients use HSA or FSA funds for the patient-responsibility portion of TMS (copays, coinsurance, or self-pay). Because TMS for depression is a qualified medical expense, HSA/FSA funds can generally be applied; we confirm whether we accept HSA/FSA and which financing or payment plans we offer at your consultation. Check with your plan administrator.
Is one-day TMS covered by insurance?
Not usually. One-day TMS compresses a full course into a single day, and that schedule is a newer, emerging protocol that most plans do not yet cover. The Ampa One device itself is FDA-cleared, but the one-day schedule is typically self-pay. A standard course is the most often covered. Coverage varies by plan.
Why do TMS prices vary so much?
TMS prices vary by schedule (standard vs accelerated vs one-day), by whether insurance applies, and by what is included (mapping, sessions, clinical team, follow-up). A standard course is commonly covered by insurance. Accelerated and one-day schedules are typically self-pay because they are newer. The device brand matters less than whether the protocol is FDA-cleared and whether a psychiatrist supervises your care.
