Welcome to Springfield

The Springfield community has a long history in Western MA and is the city of firsts. Here at Achieve TMS East, we were another first for this great city as the first center to offer deep TMS therapy.

Short bursts of magnetic pulses are directed to the limbic system or mood center of the brain. Patients typically start to see positive results in two or three weeks. There’s no need for anesthesia, and there are none of the systemic side effects associated with medications.

TMS treatment is simple. Just come to our Springfield center for a 20-minute session each day and then drive back to work or home. That’s it. TMS therapy in Springfield could be the hope you’re looking for. You won’t know unless you try.

Insurance accepted for Depression Treatment, specifically TMS therapy, has more than doubled in the last few years, a sign that insurance companies must see cost savings in a treatment method for major depressive disorder (MDD) that works more efficiently than the traditional regimen alone. Patients who continually suffer from the debilitating effects of medication-resistant depression may acquire other health conditions as a result, such as a substance abuse disorder or unhealthy weight gain, to name a few. The fact that more and more insurance companies are providing coverage for TMS indicates a cost benefit to the insurer, thus the broadening of benefits.

The following are some of the insurance plans currently working with Achieve TMS East: Aetna, BCBS, BMC, Cigna, Commonwealth Care Alliance, Fallon Health, GIC, Harvard Pilgrim, Masshealth PCC Plan, Medicare, Neighborhood Health Plan, One Care, Tricare, Tufts Health Plan, and United Health Care. If you don’t see your plan listed, please call and ask us about yours today.

*Official FDA Approval is currently for depression and OCD but several other uses are awaiting approval.
