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. Medicare Part B typically covers 80% of the approved amount for outpatient mental health services after the deductible is met, meaning most seniors pay little to nothing out of pocket for their counseling sessions.

New Jersey has over 1.5 million Medicare beneficiaries, and access to mental health care remains a critical need across the state. 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.
