FDA-cleared rTMS — the technology used in MeRT — is a covered benefit under many insurance plans specifically for treatment-resistant Major Depressive Disorder and OCD, when medical criteria are met. Coverage for qEEGs, consultations, and initial evaluations can vary by plan and by condition.
MeRT treatment for conditions beyond depression and OCD (including autism, PTSD, TBI, and Long COVID) is generally considered off-label use of FDA-cleared equipment, and typically falls outside insurance coverage.
