In this blog post, we’ll explore everything you need to know about Medicare coverage for psychiatric services in NY.
What is Medicare?
Medicare is a federal health insurance program that provides coverage for people aged 65 and older, as well as those with certain disabilities or chronic conditions. The program is divided into several parts, each covering different types of healthcare services.
Does Medicare Cover Psychiatric Services?

- Psychotherapy
