Yes, we do accept Medicare for residents of Pennsylvania. After you’ve met your annual deductible, Medicare will cover the full cost of your therapy sessions, resulting in no out-of-pocket expenses for you. If you have any questions or need assistance with the process, please don’t hesitate to call or text us at 863-320-2545.

At Silver Lining Clinics, we’re committed to making mental health care accessible and affordable for seniors. If you have further questions or need assistance, please reach out to us.

At Silver Lining Clinics, we offer both in-person therapy at our Wayne, PA clinic and online therapy (telehealth) so you can choose what’s best for you. Here’s a simple comparison to help you decide:

Benefits of Online Therapy (Telehealth)

1. Convenience from Home – You don’t need to travel. If you have mobility challenges or prefer staying at home, online therapy allows you to meet with a licensed therapist using a phone, tablet, or computer.
2. Saves Time & Energy – No need to arrange transportation or deal with traffic. Your sessions happen wherever you’re comfortable.
3. Flexible Scheduling – It’s often easier to find a time that works for you because you can connect from home without needing to commute.
4. Safe & Secure – We use HIPAA-compliant video calls, meaning your privacy is protected just like an in-person visit.
5. Ideal for Seniors with Health Concerns – If you have difficulty leaving home due to medical conditions or caregiving responsibilities, online therapy ensures you still get the care you need.
6. Works Well for Anxiety & Stress – If social anxiety, agoraphobia, or stress make it hard to leave the house, online therapy provides support without added pressure.

Benefits of In-Person Therapy (Wayne, PA Clinic)

1. Face-to-Face Connection – Some people feel more comfortable talking in person, where body language and personal interaction play a bigger role.
2. A Change of Environment – If you enjoy getting out of the house, in-person therapy provides a new setting where you can focus on your session.
3. Better for Certain Conditions – If you struggle with severe depression, PTSD, psychosis, or cognitive impairments, face-to-face sessions may provide better engagement and support.
4. Technology-Free Option – If you’re not comfortable with computers or video calls, in-person sessions eliminate the need to use technology.

Which One Should You Choose?

• If you prefer comfort, convenience, and flexibility, online therapy may be best.
• If you value face-to-face interaction and can travel to our Wayne, PA clinic, in-person therapy is a great choice.

📞 Still unsure? Call or text 863-320-2545 and we’ll help you choose the right option. Silver Lining Clinics is here to support you—no matter where you are.

If you’re enrolled in Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage), your outpatient therapy coverage may include additional benefits beyond Original Medicare (Part B). Since Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private insurance companies, coverage varies by plan. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of how Medicare Part C covers mental health therapy, including in-person and telehealth services.

Step 1: What is Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage)?

Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage, is an alternative to Original Medicare (Part A & Part B) and is provided by private insurance companies approved by Medicare.

📌 Medicare Advantage plans must cover everything that Original Medicare covers, but they often include extra benefits like:
✔ $0 copays for mental health visits (varies by plan)
✔ Expanded telehealth coverage (some plans allow therapy by phone)
✔ Lower out-of-pocket costs compared to Original Medicare
✔ Prescription drug coverage (Part D)
✔ Additional mental health benefits (wellness programs, mobile therapy apps, etc.)

Step 2: What Does Medicare Part C Cover for Outpatient Therapy?

Since Medicare Advantage plans must include the same benefits as Original Medicare (Part B), they cover outpatient mental health therapy both in-person and via telehealth. However, some plans go further and provide additional mental health services.

💡 Covered Outpatient Mental Health Services Under Medicare Advantage:
✔ Individual Therapy (in-person and telehealth)
✔ Family & Couples Therapy (if medically necessary)
✔ Group Therapy for conditions like depression and PTSD
✔ Telehealth Therapy (video calls, and some plans allow phone-only sessions)
✔ Substance Use Disorder Counseling
✔ Medication Management for antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications
✔ Screenings for Depression & Anxiety (100% covered once per year)

💡 Additional Benefits Medicare Advantage May Offer:
✔ More telehealth options (some plans allow therapy via smartphone apps or phone calls)
✔ Wellness programs & mental health coaching
✔ Transportation assistance to therapy appointments
✔ Reduced copays for therapy sessions

📌 Since Medicare Advantage plans are offered by private companies, you should check your specific plan for details on copays, coverage limits, and extra benefits.

Step 3: How Much Will Therapy Cost with Medicare Advantage?

Unlike Original Medicare (Part B), which covers 80% of outpatient therapy after the deductible, Medicare Advantage costs vary by plan.

📌 Many Medicare Advantage plans offer $0 or low copays for therapy, which can make mental health care more affordable compared to Original Medicare.

Step 4: How to Find a Medicare Advantage Plan That Covers Therapy?

✅ Option 1: Use Medicare’s Plan Finder Tool
🔎 Visit www.Medicare.gov and enter your ZIP code to compare Medicare Advantage plans that cover outpatient therapy.

✅ Option 2: Contact Your Insurance Provider
📞 If you’re already enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, call your plan’s customer service number (on the back of your insurance card) to confirm mental health benefits.

✅ Option 3: Call Medicare for Assistance
📞 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) – Medicare representatives can help you find a Medicare Advantage plan with expanded mental health benefits.

Step 5: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

💡 Do Medicare Advantage Plans Cover More Mental Health Services Than Original Medicare?
✔ Yes, most Medicare Advantage plans offer extra benefits, such as $0 copays, better telehealth options, and wellness programs.

💡 Do Medicare Advantage Plans Cover Therapy by Phone?
✔ Some plans allow phone-only therapy sessions, which Original Medicare does not cover.

💡 Can I See Any Therapist I Want with Medicare Advantage?
✔ No, you must see a therapist in your plan’s network to get the lowest cost.

💡 How Do I Know If My Therapist Accepts Medicare Advantage?
✔ Call your therapist and ask if they accept your specific Medicare Advantage plan.
