==== United States: Medicare ====
Policies for Medicare coverage vary among local jurisdictions within the Medicare system,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Contracting/Medicare-Administrative-Contractors/MedicareAdministrativeContractors.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140214094931/http://cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Contracting/Medicare-Administrative-Contractors/MedicareAdministrativeContractors.html|archive-date=2014-02-14|title=Medicare Administrative Contractors|publisher=[[Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services]]|date=2013-07-10|access-date=2014-02-14|url-status=dead}}</ref> and Medicare coverage for TMS has varied among jurisdictions and with time. For example:
