For millions of people with different emotional and behavioral health issues, Medicare is their lifeline to health and economic security. It gives a ray of hope for 26 percent of Medicare beneficiaries under 65 who are suffering from emotional crisis and for the 37 percent policy holders who need help to treat their depressive symptoms.

The US Department of Health and Human Services runs Medicare through The Centers for Medicare and Medical Services. If you’re a beneficiary of this largest health insurance program of the US government and diagnosed with psychological, emotional or behavioral condition, you’re covered by the program’s multiple health care plans. It’s vital to know and understand what benefits are available for you under the Medicare program.

The Flexibility to Find the Best Counseling Services

Finding treatment for the symptoms of emotional distress involves the search for special services that are mostly provided by the experts. Understandably, you want to be under the care of health practitioners whom you can trust. The Original Medicare (Part A, B and D) provides you the flexibility to seek help from your preferred doctor, hospital and counselors as long as they accept recipients of Medicare.

With Part B of Original Medicare, you can avail an array of psychotherapeutic health services from your choice of a qualified provider anywhere. This gives you the advantage to get help from your trusted counseling organization that does not only provide the right treatment, but also conforms to the rules of confidentiality. As a beneficiary, you’re spared from the burden of getting a referral from a primary care provider prior to behavioral health counseling.

Getting Help from the Professionals

If the symptoms become more difficult to manage, don’t wait any longer to seek immediate treatment. Take advantage of your Medicare membership to get help from the independently contracted professionals at the Southern Pines office of Carolina Counseling Services. These caring, friendly therapists are committed to extend a wide range of treatment to resolve various conditions of emotional and behavioral distress. In a crisis like this, it is nice to know that there is no delay in getting an appt. We look forward to your call!
