Some patients come to us without a diagnosed condition — they simply want a clearer picture of their brain's activity, and a personalized plan to support how it functions. MeRT® starts with a qEEG brain map, the same way it does for any of our patients.
Optimization patients aren't managing a diagnosed condition — they're looking for a clearer, data-driven picture of how their brain is functioning, and a personalized plan built around that picture. A qEEG brain map is the same starting point we use for every patient, clinical or not.
People who want a data-driven view of their own cognitive patterns, not a diagnosis.
Interested in supporting healthy brain function over time, guided by your own EEG data.
Your qEEG brain map is reviewed by our physician team the same way it is for any patient, and your protocol is built around what it shows. Because this isn't tied to a diagnosed condition, it's considered an elective, self-pay service.
Optimization is a self-pay service and is not covered by insurance, since it isn't tied to a diagnosed medical condition. Our team can walk you through cost during your consultation.
