I have an appt with a new therapist Monday. Hopefully this one works out because I think I've gone through all the therapists in my town that take my insurance! Well, maybe not quite, but probably close. It's a small town and there aren't that many that take Medicare.

I've had a couple of really good therapists in the past but I've also had some really bad ones. Who I did not see for very long. Anyway, I feel a little nervous but hopefully this is a good one.

Medicare Part B pays either 55% or it may be 60% this year for mental health visits. So if your therapist charges $100 per session, your portion would be either $45 or $40. The one I was seeing, it cost me $40 per session and I think the new one is the same, she is at the same agency.

Eh, I try to keep up with what my insurance is supposed to be paying for. I actually read my medicare booklet when I get it each year. They've been gradually increasing the amount they cover for mental health care, which is why I can't remember if it's 55% or 60% this year. They used to only pay half.
