Is depression treatment covered by AARP?

Depression treatment may be covered by AARP depending on the specific Medicare insurance plan you have, as AARP offers various Medicare plans through UnitedHealthcare. These plans may include medical coverage, prescription drug coverage, and Medicare Advantage plans that can provide broader coverage for mental health services.

The specific coverage for depression treatment and mental health services can vary between different AARP Medicare plans. Some plans may cover services such as psychotherapy (talk therapy), medication management, and hospitalization for severe depression. However, it's essential to review your specific plan's coverage details to understand the extent of mental health coverage provided.

To determine if your AARP Medicare plan covers depression treatment, you can contact AARP directly or review your plan's Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) document, which provides detailed information about the plan's coverage and costs. You can also contact your healthcare provider to discuss the available treatment options and confirm if they participate in your AARP Medicare plan.

If your AARP Medicare plan does not cover depression treatment, or if you have additional costs beyond your plan's coverage, you may want to consider other sources of financial assistance or explore additional insurance options.
