Medicare Coverage for Senior Counseling in New Jersey
Blue Moon Senior Counseling accepts Medicare Part B for all therapy sessions provided to New Jersey residents.

Our telehealth model removes geographic barriers, allowing seniors in Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Trenton, and every county across the Garden State to receive professional counseling without leaving home.
No referral is needed to begin services. Simply contact us to schedule your initial assessment.
