#109- LPCs and LMFTs Now Eligible for Medicare: What to Know

Show: Mental Health + Aging with Dr. Regina Koepp

Medicare now includes LPCs and LMFTs! Discover the new opportunities this presents for mental health professionals working with older adults.

In this Psychology of Aging episode, we dive deep into the recent changes in Medicare policies that now allow Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) to enroll as Medicare providers.

This landmark policy update, effective January 1, 2024, opens up new opportunities for mental health professionals and significantly expands access to care for older adults and those with long-term disabilities.

Our expert guests, Dr. Matthew Fullen and Dr. Mary Chase Mize, share their insights on the implications of this policy change, the enrollment process, and how this will shape the future of mental health care for older adults.
