Medicare Coverage for Senior Counseling in Ohio
Blue Moon Senior Counseling accepts Medicare Part B for all therapy sessions provided to Ohio residents. Medicare Part B typically covers 80% of the approved amount for outpatient mental health services after the deductible is met, meaning most Ohio seniors pay little to nothing out of pocket for counseling.
Ohio has approximately 2.2 million Medicare beneficiaries. Mental health care access remains a significant need, particularly in rural Appalachian counties where in-person providers are scarce. Our telehealth model removes geographic barriers, making licensed geriatric counseling accessible to seniors in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and every corner of the Buckeye State.
No referral is needed to begin services. Simply contact us to schedule your initial assessment.
