Why Military Members Choose Our TRICARE-Covered rTMS Treatment

At Brain Treatment Center Michigan, we care for active-duty service members, veterans, and military families facing depression and service-related stress. Our team understands the unique challenges that can follow years of service, including depression associated with PTSD.

Here’s what sets our care apart:

 

  • Focused experience with military mental health
    We work with the specific challenges faced by active-duty members and veterans.

  • Non-invasive, medication-free rTMS
    Many patients seek this option when medications haven’t helped or caused unwanted side effects.

  • Personalized care using EEG-guided rTMS
    Treatment planning may include EEG and qEEG data to help tailor rTMS settings to the individual.

  • Clear support from start to finish
    From insurance verification through treatment planning, our team helps make the process manageable.

How rTMS Helps Improve Depression Symptoms

rTMS uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood, motivation, emotional regulation, and sleep.

With consistent treatment, patients may experience:

  • Improved mood and emotional stability

  • Reduced depressive symptoms

  • Less anxiety and irritability

  • Better sleep quality

  • Clearer thinking and improved daily functioning

To help personalize care, treatment planning may include EEG data to guide rTMS settings, allowing for a more precise, individualized approach while still using FDA-cleared rTMS for depression.

TRICARE Coverage for rTMS Therapy​

TRICARE benefits are available to active-duty service members, veterans, retirees, and eligible family members across all branches of the military.

We accept:

  • TRICARE

  • TRICARE for Life

  • VA Community Care Network (VA/CCN)

TRICARE may cover FDA-cleared rTMS treatment for:

  • Major Depressive Disorder

  • Treatment-resistant depression

Veterans receiving care through the VA may be eligible for treatment at our clinic through the VA Community Care Network with a referral or authorization.

Our New Patient Coordinator can verify your TRICARE benefits, help navigate the VA/CCN process if applicable, and explain next steps clearly—so you can focus on care, not paperwork.

What Makes Our rTMS Approach Different

rTMS is FDA-cleared for depression. At our clinic, treatment planning may include EEG data to help personalize stimulation settings while still using standard rTMS protocols.

Our approach includes:

  • A comprehensive EEG/qEEG review to better understand individual brain activity

  • rTMS settings tailored to the individual, based on clinical findings

  • Treatment that remains rTMS, delivered with greater precision

  • An approach that may be helpful for complex or long-standing depression, including cases involving trauma

 

Patient Perspective

“The calm and welcoming environment mattered to me. Treatment helped me sleep more deeply, and my dark feelings began to fade. I feel calmer and more like myself again.”
