As we age, our mental health becomes just as important as our physical health. Medicare recognizes this and offers coverage for mental health services, including therapy. However, navigating the Medicare system can be confusing, and many people are unsure of what is covered and what is not.
What Mental Health Services Does Medicare Cover?
Medicare covers a range of mental health services, including:
- Outpatient therapy services
- Inpatient psychiatric hospitalization
- Partial hospitalization programs
- Diagnostic tests
- Medication management
It’s important to note that Medicare only covers services that are deemed medically necessary. This means that you must have a mental health condition that requires treatment in order for Medicare to cover the cost.
What Are My Out-Of-Pocket Costs?
Medicare covers 80% of the cost of mental health services, leaving you responsible for the remaining 20%. However, if you have a Medicare Supplement plan, it may cover some or all of your out-of-pocket costs.
