Emotional health is a common aspiration for everyone. It can mean having the ability to manage life challenges and navigate through emotions effectively. Dealing with feelings head on can be complicated. Along with happiness, contentment, and excitement, there are also times when you may feel sad, lonely, angry, or confused. This is all a normal part of being human, though that doesn’t make it easy.

What is not healthy is when negative feelings persist and interfere with your ability to participate in and enjoy everyday life. Regardless of the intensity of your feelings or symptoms you may be experiencing, know that there are effective interventions that can. Therapy may be an intervention that can work for you. Though you may find yourself curious about costs and whether your insurance will cover these services.

Medicare and Therapy

Relief can come from one of the world’s largest health insurance programs—Medicare. Medicare offers multiple health care plans to millions of beneficiaries. If you are a Medicare beneficiary, you may be entitled to robust emotional and behavioral health benefits.

Many Medicare policies offer coverage for counseling. If you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, insomnia etc you can use your benefits to see a qualified health professional. You aren’t alone, therapy can help.

Using Your Medicare Benefits

Medicare has four parts with different options and benefits. With the Original Medicare (Parts A, B, and D), you can choose a professional that accepts Medicare. This flexibility works to your advantage in terms of getting counseling from a licensed health care provider who meets the high quality standards set by Medicare. More importantly, you’re not required to get a doctor’s referral prior to receiving behavioral health care. Part B covers the services of Medicare-approved counselors who can help you to feel your best.
