    Medicare does not have rebates. Are you asking how much Medicare pays a psychologist? Or are you asking how much your co-pay is if you go to a psychologist?

    If you are on original Medicare you can go to a psychologist. If you have a Medigap plan it will pay all co-pays.

    Medicare does include some psychiatric treatment as long as it has therapeutic value. Examples of therapeutic counseling include drug or alcohol dependency, anxiety, depression and psychosis.

    Marriage counseling is usually not covered by Medicare.

    If Medicare does not cover the psychiatric treatment then your Medigap carrier will deny the claim.
