Medicare Safety Nets

Please be aware that for individuals and families accessing Psychology, you may want to contact Medicare to find out if you have met the Medicare threshold. If your gap and out of pocket costs meet the threshold, you’ll start getting higher Medicare benefits. This means you’ll get more money back from Medicare services (approx 85-100%).
