DVA, ADF, and WorkCover

For DVA cardholders, during the screening call, the TMS Clinician will guide you on which category you fall under:

If you have never had TMS before, DVA will cover your treatment under the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) criteria. For details on Medicare criteria, see attach Medicare
If you have had TMS in the past (or do not meet Medicare rebate eligibility), DVA may still cover your treatment through a specific approval process, independent of Medicare criteria.

For ADF members, approval for TMS treatment is processed by the patient and the ADF medical team. Please ask your referring doctor to assist you in organizing this when obtaining your TMS referral.

For WorkCover patients, approval is required from your case manager and medical team before commencing treatment.
