Even though Medicare doesn’t directly cover services just for caregivers, it does cover mental health services like:
Therapy or counseling with a licensed professional
Depression or anxiety screenings
Telehealth sessions (from home!)
Support groups, if led by a Medicare-approved provider
You will need to talk to your doctor or primary care provider and get a referral if needed. You're not alone, help is out there, and Medicare can be part of the solution. Would you like help finding a provider or understanding what’s covered in your plan?
