Medicare Coverage for Senior Counseling in Virginia

Blue Moon Senior Counseling accepts Medicare Part B for all therapy sessions provided to Virginia residents. Medicare Part B typically covers 80% of the approved amount for outpatient mental health services after the deductible is met, meaning most Virginia seniors pay little to nothing out of pocket.

Virginia has approximately 1.5 million Medicare beneficiaries across a geographically diverse state. From the urban areas of Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads to rural communities in the Shenandoah Valley and Southwest Virginia, access to geriatric mental health services varies widely. Our telehealth model removes these geographic barriers, making licensed counseling accessible to seniors throughout the Old Dominion.

No referral is needed to begin services. Simply contact us to schedule your initial assessment.
