TRICARE Insurance

To the brave individuals and their families who have served our country, your sacrifices and service are deeply valued.

At Braincare Performance Center Carlsbad, we’re dedicated to offering the best mental health support. We are proudly veteran-owned and operated and are a leading provider of rTMS treatment for depression and depression-related conditions. 

Our team, deeply rooted in the military community, understands your unique needs and is here to help.

What is rTMS?

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, targeting areas involved with mood control and depression. 

The equipment used in TMS is FDA-cleared to treat depression, and in 2016, TRICARE approved coverage for rTMS therapy to treat adults with Major Depressive Disorder.

Dr. Awodele is proud to bring this breakthrough technology to the area. And because of 
his experience during his active duty with the United States Navy, Dr. Awodele has made it a priority to accept TRICARE, TriWest, and TRICARE for Life insurance.

TRICARE offers our military personnel, veterans, and their families comprehensive healthcare coverage. Our clinic accepts the following: 

• TRICARE West for active-duty service members, retirees, and their family members.
• TriWest (VA Community Care Network) for veterans and certain National Guard and Reserves members.
• TRICARE for Life, for those with Medicare and TRICARE.
