MENTALHEALTH, ETHICS & SOCIAL HEALTH MESH / Lost Virtual Therapy!

**Posted by Eric** Sun Dec 17 12:16 am

As of January of 2024 I'm going to have a very unhappy New Year because I'm not going to be able to go to virtual treatment anymore due to Medicare cutting back on funds etc. Because the emergency is allegedly over, (there are other strains happening of covid...HELLO) MEDICARE WILL NO LONGER PAY FOR A TELEHEALTH TREATMENT PROGRAM.
I live very far away from the face to face facility so this will be very hard on me.
I'm hoping to find solace at least on this forum board and I understand that it's free. I'm looking forward to meeting the facilitator.

I go to a program right now that used to have virtual therapy and I'm also aware that many people are going to lose theirs as well. I also happily know that the people that live too far away to go to my program will be going to other programs closer to where they live although I know they will miss us. You can always feel free to come on the board here. I'm sorry I didn't respond quickly enough.
Please take care. I hope you're having a safe holiday.
I'll try to be on here more.
