Proven results for reaching patients

NOTE: Co-Op programs are heavily regulated, and all guidelines must be followed. The Keys to Co-Op are pre-designed to make compliance with the program guidelines easy for you, and ensure you get the reimbursement you expect, without surprises.

Co-Op Marketing dollars can only be used for materials that support your NeuroStar practice and cannot be used on ads mentioning or featuring other brands or treatments, or off-label uses of NeuroStar.

Using the Keys To Co-Op: It’s as Simple as 1-2-3-4.

Co-Op Reimbursement - The Details on Getting Reimbursed

Here are 3 steps to make sure you get the reimbursement you expect…

Submitting for Pre-approval

  1. Pre-approval for your chosen Keys to Co-Op ensures your Co-Op tactics are approved and within the program guidelines, it also guarantees your reimbursement amount, based on your Co-Op Level. 
  2. Plans and ads can be submitted via the My Account page any time before your ads run, as long as you allow time for approval. 

The NeuroStar Co-Op team will reach out with approvals or edits to ad submissions within 3-5 business days. Ads are reviewed in the order they are received. Best practice is to submit ads a minimum of two weeks in advance prior to publish/run date.

Submitting for Reimbursement

Once the quarter is complete, 

  1. Gather your receipts and final ad proofs for your ad placements.
  2. Upload all assets to your My Account page and request final approval and reimbursement. You will need both proof of the purchase, and the final ad proof (what actually ran) to get reimbursed. 
  3. Visit the My Account page to view pre-approval and reimbursement checklists for detailed information. 

For key dates on quarterly deadlines, visit the Co-Op Resources page.

Expecting Reimbursement

  1. The NeuroStar Co-Op team will reach out within 3-5 business days with any questions, and to confirm receipt of all needed materials. 
  2. Reimbursement agreements will be sent within 60 days of the reimbursement submission deadline.  Exceptions may apply per your Co-Op Level.

Submit for pre-approvals and final reimbursement on the My Account page.

Note that Co-Op Marketing dollars can only be used for materials that support your NeuroStar practice. Marketing materials, campaigns, or assets that feature or mention other brands or treatments, or unapproved or off-label uses of NeuroStar, will not be approved or reimbursed. For more information on eligible tactics, claims, etc. visit our Co-Op Resources page.

FAQ About Co-Op Program Participation and Guidelines

For additional information, please reach out to your NeuroStar sales representative for assistance.

Co-Op Marketing is designed to help you build patient awareness of NeuroStar and improve patients’ access to care. The Keys to Co-Op are designed to identify the most impactful programs and marketing tactics with proven assets, and preferred vendors so you can get the most out of your marketing. Your NeuroStar sales representative can help you with detailed guidance for how Co-Op will most specifically benefit your practice.

Your Co-Op Level depends on your treatment session purchases in the previous quarter. If you know how much you’ve spent (or plan to spend) on treatment sessions in the current quarter, you can reference our reimbursement chart on the My Account page to see where you stand with reimbursement dollars, including how much you stand to get back right now, and how far you are from the next level.

Our Keys to Co-Op are designed to take the guesswork out of determining what will make the biggest difference for your practice. Every quarter you will answer the same 5 questions about each Key, starting with NSU travel and determining your tactics based on your available Co-Op dollars. To get started, visit our NSU page, and work through the Keys to Co-Op for your practice.

That depends on the state and optimization of your current website. NeuroStar works with preferred vendors who can perform an evaluation of your current website, and let you know what improvements would help you most, and which are reimbursed within your current Co-Op Level. Visit the Website Optimization page for more details.

You can submit your ads at any time, best practice is to submit ads a minimum of two weeks prior to the date you plan to run your ads. Keep in mind that your ads will be subject to the maximum reimbursement amount based on the Co-Op Level you are in during the quarter the ads are run. The NeuroStar Co-Op team takes 3-5 business days to review ad submissions so submit your ads with enough time ahead of your scheduled ad run date.

Reimbursement submission takes place within the first 30 days after a quarter ends. Send in the following:

  • Finals copies and/or prints of ad(s)
  • Paid invoices and/or itemized receipts

If you run multiple ads, please submit all paperwork on the My Accounts page.

Reimbursement payment will be sent the following quarter. For example, if you submit your ads in Q2 (April 1st – June 30th), you will receive your reimbursement check by the end of Q3 (July 1st – September 30th) after co-op marketing receives the necessary documents to process the reimbursement requests by the specified deadline. NeuroStar offers two forms of payment, either by check or a quicker reimbursement via ACH.
