Medicare Mental Health Services

Medicare provides coverage for mental health services to support emotional well-being and treat mental health conditions. This includes outpatient services like therapy and counseling, inpatient psychiatric hospital stays, and certain prescription medications. Medicare Part B typically covers outpatient mental health care, while Part A may cover inpatient stays. Services are provided by licensed mental health professionals, and many costs are covered with minimal out-of-pocket expenses, though some co-payments or deductibles may apply. Access to these services helps individuals manage mental health issues effectively, promoting overall health and quality of life.
