Behavioral health integration services
Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) may pay for behavioral health integration services if you're eligible
Description
Behavioral health integration services can help your doctor or other health care provider manage your care for a behavioral health condition (like depression, anxiety, or another mental health condition). Some health care providers may offer integrated care services, like the Psychiatric Collaborative Care Model (a set of integrated behavioral health services that may include care planning, ongoing assessments, medication support, and counseling).
Who's eligible
You must have a behavioral health condition like depression, anxiety, or another mental health condition.
Costs
After the Part B deductible , you pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount.
How often
Your health care provider will ask you to sign an agreement for you to get this set of services on a monthly basis.
Ask your doctor or healthcare provider how much your test, item, or service will cost.
Your doctor may recommend services that Medicare does not cover or offers too frequently. This could end up in additional costs for you. Make sure to ask your doctor about the reasons for these recommendations and what Medicare will actually cover.
