As we age, our mental health becomes just as important as our physical health. Unfortunately, many seniors in NY struggle to access affordable mental health services. This is where Medicare comes in. But does Medicare cover mental health services in NY? Let’s find out.
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 the services must be required to diagnose or treat a mental health condition.
What Are the Costs of Mental Health Services with Medicare?
Medicare covers 80% of the cost of mental health services. The remaining 20% is typically covered by a supplemental insurance plan or out-of-pocket by the patient. However, there are some mental health services that require a copayment or deductible.
