Update on insurance:
I am all set. Now have the Supplement in place, Part D was approved by Medicare yesterday, Extra Help is all set and Dental/Vision/Hearing is in place.
So, I am all set, however..................
It seems no therapists in my area take Medicare plans
I have done an exhaustive search and where they are all listed on the Medicare website and Psychology today and just doing a general research, the replies coming back is "nope" or no returned phone calls at all.
Don't want to go to community mental health as they choose who you get. I would prefer to select a specialized therapist tied in with a certain background. Most of the general therapists at this mental health clinic do not know what I am looking for. It seems there is no point in even trying the community mental health system at this point, as I think it would be a big waste of time and triggering for me as well not to mention the time getting there and back again which can also be very triggering.
I have written to my state federal senator for help with this, but not holding out hope there.
