Googling just now, it looks like there's still only a handful of clinics advertising rEEG, and it's not covered by insurance.
But EEG would't show anything about how things like the lymbic system or Area 25 were involved, anyway, would it? Just cortical activity, I think.
Also, no articles came up for rEEG in depression treatment on Google Scholar. That's a little disappointing. I can't find that any of the clinic web sites say how many people are actually in their data base. It also sounds like their main measure of efficacy was physician self-report. And the unpublished studies they conducted on rEEG apparently had no control groups, so they don't say much, unfortunately.
So I guess rEEG isn't (yet) filling that diagnostic hole that Mayberg was talking about. A lot more good research is needed.
