Need a therapist that accepts medicare on line

3 Replies

I'm 67. Have never found an decent therapist in my town in way upstate in New York State. Medicare is my only insurance. Any suggestions or ideas?

Thank you.

I recently did an online session, but I had to pay for it. The only thing I can suggest is to google, or keep calling until you find someone who does.

I would keep calling people and asking for leads. Maybe call the nearest hospital or church or those therapists who don't take Medicare. I'm 67 and was in the same boat but found one who takes it. Many therapists will do a sliding scale. Medicare itself will tell you all the therapists in your area who take Medicare. Meanwhile you might find a more distant Medicare therapist who will do phone therapy. Then you wouldn't even have to travel.
