From your first call to your final session, here is exactly what the process of beginning TMS therapy at High Peaks TMS looks like — including how insurance works, what to bring, and what to expect on your first day.
Call (719) 602-0622 or submit the contact form. We review your clinical history, confirm preliminary eligibility, and answer your questions. No commitment required.
We verify your specific TMS benefits — coverage criteria, deductible status, and cost-share — and report back to you before scheduling any appointments. This is done at no charge.
We submit all required clinical documentation to your insurer. We track status, follow up, and manage the authorization to approval — you make no calls to your insurance company.
Your first in-person visit confirms your candidacy, completes the clinical intake, and answers remaining questions. A psychiatrist reviews your history and establishes your treatment plan.
Your first treatment session establishes your motor threshold — the precise stimulation intensity calibrated to your individual neurophysiology. This ensures accurate, consistent stimulation throughout your course.
Five sessions per week, 20–37 minutes each. Most patients begin noticing clinical improvement between weeks two and three. Our team monitors your progress using validated outcome measures.
At the end of your course, we complete a formal outcome assessment and coordinate with your referring provider or psychiatrist on next steps — including ongoing care and retreatment planning if warranted.
We develop a maintenance plan to preserve your gains — including retreatment criteria, medication management coordination, and wellness check-ins at 3 and 6 months post-treatment.
Your first session is the motor threshold calibration session. It typically runs 45–60 minutes (longer than subsequent sessions). You will feel the tapping sensation of the coil and may experience mild scalp discomfort. This is normal and diminishes over the first week.
Once insurance is authorized, most patients can begin treatment within 3–5 business days. Same-week start dates are available for self-pay patients. Call (719) 602-0622 to schedule.
