Medicare covers mental health services in several different settings. Medicare Part A covers mental health care services you get in a hospital that require you to be admitted as an inpatient. Medicare Part B may provide partial hospitalization coverage if you meet specific requirements, and your doctor certifies that you would otherwise need inpatient treatment. If you are enrolled in a Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage, your deductible, copay, or coinsurance may be different or less depending on the plan you have chosen. Medicare Advantage plans may also offer additional mental health services. Please check your Medicare Advantage Summary of Benefits to see if your plan provides any supplemental benefits. Call Kevin Leinum Medicare Agent – your local Medicare Expert about what Medicare covers or how enrolling in a Medicare Advantage or Medicare Supplement plan can improve your coverage and reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
