As we age, our mental health becomes just as important as our physical health. Medicare is a federal health insurance program that covers a wide range of medical services, including psychiatric care. But does Medicare cover psychiatric care in NY? The answer is yes, but with some limitations.
What Does Medicare Cover for Psychiatric Care?
Medicare Part B covers outpatient mental health services, including:
- Diagnostic assessments
- Individual and group therapy sessions
- Family counseling (if the main purpose is to help with your treatment)
- Medication management
Medicare Part A covers inpatient mental health care in a psychiatric hospital. However, there are limitations on the number of days covered and the amount of out-of-pocket costs.
What Are the Limitations?
Medicare covers 80% of the approved amount for outpatient mental health services, and you are responsible for the remaining 20%. You will also need to pay the Part B deductible before Medicare starts covering your mental health services.
For inpatient mental health care, Medicare covers up to 190 days in a psychiatric hospital during your lifetime. However, you will need to pay a daily coinsurance amount after the first 60 days.
