The Evernorth press release stated that the change will be effective on March 6, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvernorth\u2019s decision to eliminate the requirement for contracted providers to have patients obtain prior authorizations for TMS treatment marks an important step forward in expanding patient access to this effective and well-accepted therapy. This change empowers providers to deliver timely care to patients who meet Evernorth\u2019s TMS policy selection criteria,\u201d stated Hadar Levy, CEO at BrainsWay. Evernorth currently covers TMS treatment for patients with both major depressive disorder (MDD) for adolescents and adults, and obsessive-compulsive disorder OCD.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy reducing administrative hurdles, Evernorth\u2019s new policy allows providers to focus on helping patients through their care journey and identifying the most effective treatment option.

With our Deep TMS systems already widely adopted across the U.S., timely access to this evidence\u2011based treatment gives eligible patients a meaningful opportunity to move forward and experience improvement in their day\u2011to\u2011day lives,\u201d stated Michael Cohen, Vice President of U.S. Sales.<\/p>\n<p>BrainsWay continues to lead the field with its proprietary H-coil technology, robust clinical research, and ongoing collaboration with providers and policymakers to expand access to advanced neurostimulation therapies.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About BrainsWay<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>BrainsWay is a global leader in advanced noninvasive neurostimulation treatments for mental health disorders.
