Psychiatric Care That Accepts Medicare
Finding a psychiatrist who takes Medicare can be hard. One Stop Psychiatry accepts Medicare, and we are taking new patients.
Medicare Part B covers outpatient mental health care, such as psychiatric evaluations, medication management and therapy. Medicare also covers mental health visits by video from your home, so you can see us by telehealth or come to our Fort Lauderdale office.
Care Covered Under Your Medicare Plan
Mental health visits are part of most Medicare plans. Here is what we offer.
With Original Medicare you usually pay 20% of the approved amount after the Part B deductible. A supplement (Medigap) plan may cover some or all of that. We explain your cost before the visit.
How to Book With Medicare
Psychiatric evaluations
A full first visit to understand your symptoms, history and goals, and to agree on a diagnosis and plan.
Medication management
Ongoing medication management for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, insomnia and other conditions.
ADHD assessment and treatment

Therapy
