Harmony TMS Therapy

Harmony TMS therapy is a noninvasive, outpatient procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain that are known to be under active in clinically depressed patients. Stimulating these regions of the brain are proven to improve symptoms of depression. TMS is typically used when other depression treatments such as medication haven't been effective. If your previous treatment attempts have not been effective or produce unwanted side effects, Harmony TMS therapy may be right for you. Learn more today!

Telehealth Policy Update and Instructions

PPC will be using a new telehealth Service Verification process. If you have a telehealth appointment scheduled you will receive a text message on the day of your appt. The text will prompt you to verify your identity and request your signature. Your signature shows you approve the following statement:

I certify that I am the individual/ legal agent of the individual receiving services. I certify I have consented to receive the above service from Penn Psychiatric Center and the recorded practitioner. My signature on the date of service, validates that I have participated, consented, and agree with the information, plan, and/or treatment outlined in this note.

We will work to address all concerns but we are limited in what we can allow due to the state guidelines.
