Who is a Good Candidate?

Typical candidates include:

• Adults with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (often defined after ≥2 antidepressant trials).

• People with anxiety, OCD, or other diagnoses where TMS has supportive evidence.

Adolescents aged 15 and older, Inspire offers teen TMS with appropriate monitoring and coordination with adolescent psychiatry. 

Contraindications and exclusions (examples): implanted metallic devices that aren’t MRI-compatible, certain seizure disorders, or specific medical hardware, all assessed during screening. Inspire conducts a thorough clinical screening and consult to ensure safety and the best chance of benefit.

What to expect at Inspire TMS Denver , step-by-step

1. Free or low-cost consult

A clinician or Dr. Clinch reviews your history, prior treatments and goals. The clinic conducts insurance benefit checks and prior authorizations where possible. Inspire offers phone consultations to help you decide next steps.

2. Mapping & first treatment

Dr. Clinch performs a mapping procedure (to find the stimulation site and dose). The first treatment is typically supervised and the clinic adjusts for comfort and tolerability. Patients may have their first treatment after mapping.

3. Course of care

• Standard baseline course: daily weekday sessions over several weeks; many patients note improvement around weeks 3–4 with fuller benefit by 6–8 weeks.

• Accelerated courses: multiple short sessions per day, across consecutive days (e.g., 50 sessions over five days in some protocols), with staff providing comfortable treatment rooms and supports. Inspire documents that accelerated protocols are very convenient for some patients but are not always covered by insurance.

4. Aftercare

Patients are monitored for treatment progress (PHQ-9 and other measures). Clinic offers maintenance or “rescue” sessions if symptoms recur, and provides discounted options for financial hardship when insurance won’t cover repeat courses. Inspire tracks outcomes routinely.

Outcomes & evidence

Clinical trials and meta-analyses support TMS for treatment-resistant depression with meaningful response and remission rates. Inspire tracks clinic outcomes and reports that a large portion of their patients experience clinically significant benefit ,for example, at least 3 out of 4 (≈75%) of treated patients report PHQ-9 scores below 10 after treatment, and >80% report at least some response in their tracked cohort. Outcomes vary by protocol and individual factors, so Inspire emphasizes transparent outcome tracking and realistic expectations.

Cost, insurance & sliding scale

Insurance

• Inspire accepts major commercial insurers, Medicare and Tricare, and the team completes benefits checks and prior authorizations to maximize coverage. Coverage depends on plan rules (deductible, coinsurance, prior auth).

Self-pay & sliding scale

• Accelerated or off-label protocols are often not covered; Inspire provides sliding-scale self-pay fees based on household income and offers discounted or occasionally free treatments for financial hardship. Their financial policy shows historical self-pay rates as a guide (for example: initial evaluation ~$200; mapping and typical self-pay session examples around $250 per session), but patients should request a current, itemized estimate during consult. 

How to get an estimate: schedule a consult and the clinic will run an eligibility check and provide a patient-specific estimate of expected insurer payments and your responsibility. Read more: TMS therapy cost

TMS for teens

Inspire offers TMS to adolescents (age 15+), with careful screening, family involvement and coordination with the teen’s psychiatrist. Because insurance coverage for adolescent protocols may lag, the clinic verifies benefits and discusses payment options with families.
