Is hypnotherapy to control urinary incontinence from radiation treatment medicare covered?
2330 POINTSview profileSteve AdlmanOwner, Alabama Medicare Plans, Birmingham, AlabamaHypnotherapy would not be covered by Medicare to help control urinary incontinence. There maybe some mental health issues where Medicare will pay some of the cost for hypnotherapy but I don't believe it will cover any of the cost for the problem you are having.Answered on January 14, 2016flag this answer
23 POINTSview profileGilbert WilliamsInsurance Sales Executive, Insurance Services Marketing, LLC,Hypnosis may be covered by health insurance, but it varies by the policy and each situation. BlueCross BlueShield considers hypnosis medically necessary for relief of acute or chronic pain or as an adjunct to psychotherapy, but this definition is dependent to the state in which you live. Contact your current health provider for more information.Answered on January 19, 2016flag this answer
521 POINTSview profileEdward CroweOwner, Crowe and Associates, Brookfield, CTHypnosis is not a covered benefit under Original Medicare. Having a Medicare supplement will not help either as Medicare Supplements will only cover services that Medicare approves. It would be theoretically possible there are some Medicare Advantage carriers that will cover Hypnotherapy but non of the more well know ones such as BCBS, United, Aetna, Humana will cover it.Answered on February 17, 2016flag this answer
