Hi,
Most therps don't accept medicare clients (in my area)- I'm in CA. What we have in my state is the choice of enrolling in a medicare sponsored HMO (like pacificare) and going through one of their therps. for that, it's a normal co-pay (like $15). since I have what is termed a 'serious' mental illness (I think they are bipolar, MDD, panic disorder and schizophrenia) I have unlimited access to therps and pdocs- and after one referral from a primary physician, that's it for the politics.
hope that helped, judy
