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 treatment. This is where Medicare comes in. But does Medicare cover mental health treatment in NY? Let’s find out.
What Does Medicare Cover?
Medicare is a federal health insurance program that covers people aged 65 and older, as well as those with certain disabilities. Medicare has four parts:
- Part A: Hospital insurance
- Part B: Medical insurance
- Part C: Medicare Advantage plans
- Part D: Prescription drug coverage
When it comes to mental health treatment, Medicare covers a range of services, including:
- Outpatient therapy services
- Inpatient psychiatric hospitalization
- Partial hospitalization programs
- Diagnostic tests
- Medication management
What Are the Costs?
While Medicare covers a range of mental health services, there are still costs associated with treatment. For example, you may be responsible for:
- A deductible for Part A and/or Part B
- Copayments or coinsurance for each service
- Excess charges if your provider doesn’t accept Medicare assignment
However, there are ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. For example, you can choose a Medicare Advantage plan that offers additional mental health benefits, such as lower copayments or coverage for services not covered by Original Medicare.
