This directory shows three TMS locations within New Windsor. Two listings point to the same suite on Route 9W, and another is on Oakwood Terrace. Patients come from Newburgh, Cornwall, Washingtonville and Vails Gate, and from Beacon across the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge. I-84 and the New York State Thruway (I-87) meet just outside town, so most people drive in, and Stewart International Airport is close by.
Many TMS programs track your mood with a short form called the PHQ-9. It asks nine questions about sleep, energy, interest and mood over the past two weeks. You complete it before treatment and again every week or two. The scores help you and the provider see change over time and decide whether to adjust the plan.
After about 36 sessions, the provider reviews your progress with you. Some people stop there and keep up with medication and therapy. Others may be offered maintenance sessions, spaced out over weeks or months, if symptoms start to return. Ask at the start how follow-up works and whether insurance usually covers extra sessions.
The standard schedule is Monday through Friday for around six weeks. Many Orange County residents commute to Westchester or New York City, so an early-morning or evening slot can help. Winter snow can shut down roads, so find out about make-up days. Families tied to West Point or Stewart Air National Guard Base may plan around training schedules.
Hudson Valley patient concerns range across Depression, ADHD, OCD, Anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar. Depression is the primary FDA-cleared reason for TMS, especially if prescriptions have not worked. The provider reviews your history and makes the call during an evaluation.
TRICARE may pay for TMS for depression once certain treatment steps have been tried. Veterans may be able to get care through VA community care. Coverage rules change, so the front desk can verify what your plan pays for and what referral or approval you need.
New York Medicaid and its managed care plans can approve TMS for depression when prior authorization rules are met. Medicare and many commercial plans also review TMS case by case. Have your insurance card ready on the first call so staff can check your coverage.
Many people do. Nothing puts you to sleep, so driving or catching the train afterward is fine. Booking a slot before work or on the way home keeps your day intact. Early sessions may bring mild scalp soreness that usually lessens.
Usually not. Plenty of patients continue their medication during TMS. Your provider reviews every medicine at the evaluation, since a few can affect seizure risk. Never change a dose without talking to your prescriber first.
