Many TMS practices focus on external marketing, but a significant number of eligible patients are already within your practice. Educating internal providers and staff on identifying the right candidates for TMS can increase patient conversions, improve treatment outcomes, and boost revenue - all without relying solely on new leads.


At TMS Management Group, we help practices develop effective internal referral strategies to maximize existing patient pools and streamline the treatment pipeline. We ensure that any internal patients who would benefit from TMS treatment will receive the same level of service that our external patients receive.

Why Internal Referrals Are Key to TMS Growth

Many patients who could benefit from TMS treatment go unnoticed because:


  • Providers lack awareness of TMS eligibility criteria and their signs


  • Patients are unfamiliar with TMS as an option


  • There’s no structured process for identifying and referring patients


By educating your team and implementing a clear referral process, your clinic can ensure that more eligible patients receive the treatment they need, with no patient going unnoticed.

How Our In-Practice Referral Program Works

  • Educating Providers & Staff on TMS

    • Training staff on who qualifies for TMS, including signs of medication-resistant depression, which is a key factor in the eligibility for treatment.  

    • Helping providers confidently and conscientiously discuss TMS as an option with patients, ensuring that they are providing all the facts.
  • Screening & Identifying Eligible Patients

    Establishing automated or manual screening tools in patient intake forms. Implementing TMS education sessions for current psychiatric and therapy patients to help recognize common signs of medication-resistant depression, for example.

  • Creating a Simple Referral Pathway

    Fast-tracking referrals for eligible patients through a structured process. Developing internal communication templates for seamless provider-patient conversations, meaning no referral is delayed.

  • Tracking & Optimizing the Referral Process

    Using a referral dashboard to monitor conversions and identify improvements in the referral process. Adjusting outreach strategies based on referral success rates.
