You Served. Now Let Us Serve You.
If you’re a veteran or first responder, you’ve carried burdens most people can’t imagine. From the weight of trauma to the daily pressure of public service, your mental health matters—and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) could be the breakthrough you’ve been searching for.
At Bella Vida TMS, we’re proud to help the heroes of our community access cutting-edge treatment with compassion, clarity, and support—including helping you navigate your insurance benefits.
Whether you’re using Tricare, VA Community Care, or a public-sector plan, we’re here to help you get the care you need, with dignity and without delay.
Why TMS Can Help First Responders and Veterans
TMS is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive therapy for major depressive disorder—but its benefits go beyond just depression. Research shows it may also help reduce symptoms of:
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Anxiety
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Sleep disruption and emotional numbness
And unlike medications, TMS doesn’t come with long-term side effects or sedative drawbacks. It’s ideal for people who need to stay sharp and responsive—like first responders and those with a service background.
What Insurance Plans Can Help Cover TMS?
✅ Tricare (Military Insurance)
We work with Tricare to offer TMS therapy to active-duty service members, retirees, and their families. While prior authorization is usually required, our team handles the paperwork to help you get approved faster.
We’ll help you:
- Confirm eligibility
- Submit a Letter of Medical Necessity
- Navigate peer-to-peer reviews if required
- Coordinate with your primary care manager (PCM) or VA provider
✅ VA Community Care Program
If you receive care through the Veterans Affairs (VA) system, you may be eligible to receive TMS through VA Community Care—which allows you to get treatment from outside providers when VA facilities can’t meet your needs in a timely manner.
We’ll help you:
- Get a referral from your VA primary provider
- Submit the required authorization forms
- Provide clinical justification for TMS
- Coordinate your care with the VA Community Care Office
✅ Employer and Union Insurance Plans
Many police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and corrections officers receive insurance through city or state employee benefit plans. We are in-network with most major insurers, including:
- Blue Cross Blue Shield
- UnitedHealthcare
- Aetna
- Cigna
- Arizona AHCCCS-contracted plans
We will:
- Verify your benefits
- Handle prior authorization
- Help you understand co-pays, deductibles, and timelines
We Handle the Hard Part—So You Can Focus on Healing
We know how difficult it is to ask for help. That’s why our team goes above and beyond to make the insurance and approval process as smooth as possible:
- Free benefit verification
- Full support with authorizations and appeals
- Documentation of medical necessity
- Flexible scheduling for shift work and recovery
We’ll never leave you to figure it out on your own.
What If Insurance Doesn’t Cover It?
If TMS is not initially covered under your plan—or you need help before authorization comes through—we offer:
- Cash-pay discounts for first responders and veterans
- CareCredit financing options
- Hardship-based sliding scale pricing
- Spravato® and other covered alternatives
We believe cost should never stand in the way of care—especially for those who’ve served.
