@slarson14 Traditional Medicare Part B does cover mental health counseling by mental health providers who take Medicare. My husband's sessions with a Ph.D.-level psychologist are covered by his Medicare Part B and his supplementary plan. Psychiatrists are medical doctors and so long as they take Medicare the visits will be covered. Sometimes there are co-pays.

It's possible that Medicare Advantage Plans that are offered by private insurance companies do not cover mental health counseling although by law they should since Traditional Medicare covers mental health. I don't know but one can figure that out by calling the phone number of the back of their Medicare Advantage Plan card.
