Our clinic is veteran operated and owned.
We are in-network for Tricare west Insurance for patients with Depression.

Our clinic is in-network for TriCare Insurance. Our owner and managing director, Greg Andrews, is a retired Navy SEAL. He knows how the sacrifices that you’ve made for our country can affect not only you but your loved ones as well.
Depression may occur because of events that you experienced during your service. And it’s very common for other conditions to occur simultaneously, such as PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Anxiety.
When you seek help with us for your Depression, our treatment called MeRT, or Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy, can also help with any other problems that you are experiencing.
Our goal at Brainwave Neuro Performance is to offer treatment that is both effective and long-lasting so that you can get your quality of life back. We will do our best to make your experience with us as pleasant as possible, in a warm and compassionate environment.
Because of Greg’s own experiences, he brought the groundbreaking technology of MeRT Treatment to the greater Tucson area so that he could help others who were suffering. He partnered with Dr. Julie Kim, a physician who helped to implement the initial MeRT protocols at the Flagship clinic in Newport Beach.
MeRT (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy) is a more tailored and sophisticated form of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). It is non-invasive, drug-free, gentle, and painless. We have seen some amazing results from MeRT treatment. * To learn more about this state-of-the-art technology and how it helps with Depression, click here.

The United States Defense Health Agency offers an insurance plan called TriCare to active military personnel, veterans, and their families. The FDA approved the TMS equipment to treat Depression and TriCare approved coverage for Depression in 2016.
Realizing the effects of MeRT technology experienced by Greg and many of his peers and colleagues, Greg is proud to bring the technology to the greater Tucson area and has opened his clinic, Brainwave Neuro Performance Center.
Also because of his experience during his active duty with the United States Navy, Greg has prioritized becoming in-network TriCare Insurance for Depression in Tucson.
The insurance provider that serves the western region of the US is called TriCare West. TriCare offers three different types of insurance: TriCare Select, TriCare Reserve, and TriCare Prime.
If you are suffering from depression and have one of these three plans, just give our Patient Coordinator a call at 520-633-0206. She can answer all of your questions and get you scheduled for your initial qEEG and consultation with our physician, Dr. Julie Kim. She will get the necessary paperwork filled out for you and we will let you know when you can start your treatment, once approved.
TriCare covers MDD if it is the primary diagnosis. They also require that you have tried previous treatments (such as medications) that were not effective. Because of this, please have your PCP indicate that “Depression” is your primary diagnosis on their referral.
We realize that there are often other diagnoses that accompany Depression, such as PTSD and Anxiety. But in order to be covered under your TriCare plan, the primary diagnosis needs to be listed as Depression. If you do have other diagnoses, these will show up on your qEEG, and MeRT treatment will address all.
Please have your Primary Care Provider send over a referral with your diagnostic and treatment history through fax or secure email. This will aid in our authorization process, so that we can qualify and schedule you for treatment. Depending on your coverage, TriCare may also request an authorization submission from your Primary Care Provider in order to receive services at our office. Our office staff will provide you with instructions for your provider.
