HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted December 16, 2017 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 16, 2017 I was thinking I could use both? if VA can't help me then I'd seek a private care provider that can using medicare and that happens a lot. I have not used medicare ..yet but may do so in trying to find a better MH Therapist.

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted December 16, 2017 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 16, 2017 Medicare pays only about half of allowable amount for mental health care. This is a pitiful amount unless you have a Medicare Advantage plan that pays more. The private shrink I use won't even accept medical insurance anymore due to paperwork nightmare. He does accept Medicare put you must pay a significant copay. I get his care via OWCP so I pay nothing. The reason I still see him is because he knows how to write a report that the VA will accept.
