Why MindView
Most therapy in Rochester has no structure. Ours has four stages and a scoreboard.
Plenty of practices take Medicare. What you get here is one format for every client: a full intake, a written treatment plan, and standardized measures reviewed with you every month, so you can see whether it is working.
- 01
Intake
What is actually going on, rated 0 to 10 as your baseline.
- 02
Your history
Why it is happening. History, relationships, work, health.
- 03
Treatment plan
Written and collaborative, built against those causes.
- 04
Monthly review
Standardized measures, reviewed with you. You see the trend.
A license is where our training starts, not where it ends.
Every clinician is state-licensed before they see a single client. Then they train with us across every modality, and how to match one to the problem in front of them.

Medicare in Rochester, in short
MindView Therapy is in-network with Medicare for Rochester clients, seen by secure video anywhere in New York State. You pay your plan's copay or coinsurance rather than the full session fee, and we verify your benefits before your first session. We do not have a Rochester office, and we are accepting new clients now.
Rochester built companies that built retirements, and a lot of the city now runs on Medicare. We are in-network with it. Outpatient therapy is a Part B benefit, video sessions are covered for mental health care, and before your first appointment we check your exact coverage, Medigap or Advantage included, and tell you what a session will actually cost you.
Do you accept Medicare in Rochester?
We do. MindView Therapy is in-network with Medicare, and Rochester clients are seen by secure video anywhere in New York State. Below is the money math, stated plainly, because Medicare’s arithmetic is different from every commercial plan.
The actual numbers for 2026
Under Part B, outpatient therapy is covered. The 2026 Part B deductible is $283 (CMS, 2026 fact sheet). Once it is met, Medicare pays 80 percent of the approved amount for a session and you pay 20 percent.
Two layers commonly change that. A Medigap supplement usually absorbs the 20 percent, which can make your therapy sessions cost nothing out of pocket. A Medicare Advantage plan swaps the whole 80/20 structure for its own copay per session. Which situation is yours determines your cost, so telling us what is in your wallet is step one, and quoting your real number is step two. We do both before you book a first session.
A city that retired well
Kodak and Xerox built Rochester’s twentieth century, and the workforce that built those companies is now the city’s large retired generation. That makes Medicare, more than any commercial carrier, the coverage story that matters here. It also means we regularly see people starting therapy at 68 or 75, some for grief, some for the strange quiet after a working life ends, some for anxiety that finally has room to be noticed. Age has never once been a reason therapy stopped working.
Turning 65 without losing your therapist
The Medicare transition trips people mid-treatment: employer coverage ends, the new card arrives, and they assume the therapy has to end or restart somewhere new. It does not. Outpatient mental health continues under Part B. If you are approaching 65 and in therapy, or thinking of finally starting once the working years wind down, the move is administrative, not clinical: new card, new verification, same weekly session. We have walked plenty of clients through it, and the checking is our job rather than yours.
What Medicare will not pay for
Worth stating in advance: relationship counseling for its own sake is generally outside Medicare’s coverage, because Medicare pays for treatment of a diagnosed condition. Family involvement in your own treatment can be covered. We determine which side of that line your situation falls on before any bill exists.
What therapy with us involves
The work opens with an intake and a 0 to 10 baseline rating. What follows you can edit freely by declining questions, and the treatment plan is co-written. Sessions run weekly after that, with standardized measures reviewed monthly so the trajectory is visible. Where progress stalls, the plan is rewritten.
On format: video-delivered therapy has performed on par with office-based care in comparative research on outpatient concerns such as depression, anxiety, and grief. And to be equally plain about geography, we hold no Rochester office; Buffalo, 75 miles off, is the nearest, which is why Rochester care is video care.
Beyond Medicare
The full New York roster we accept: UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Medicare, Oscar Health, Meritain Health, Oxford Health Plans, Cigna, Optum, Highmark BCBS WNY, Univera Healthcare and MagnaCare. Details on the city sit on our Rochester page.
Getting started
Book at the secure client portal, about 30 seconds with your Medicare card at hand. We verify every layer of your coverage, quote the cost, and schedule you. Replies within one business day; new clients welcome. Prefer the phone? (646) 493-4007.
What Medicare covers here
- •Medicare is federal coverage for adults 65 and over and certain younger adults with disabilities. Part B covers outpatient mental health care, including therapy with a licensed provider.
- •In 2026 the Part B deductible is $283. After it is met, Medicare pays 80 percent of the approved amount and you pay 20 percent, unless a Medigap supplement or Medicare Advantage plan changes that.
- •Most Medigap plans cover the 20 percent coinsurance, which can bring your session cost to zero. Medicare Advantage plans replace the 80/20 split with their own copays.
- •Medicare does not require a referral to see an in-network therapist. We confirm the rules for your specific coverage when we verify benefits.
- •Mental health telehealth is covered by Medicare today, and we confirm your current coverage before you book, since rules evolve.
How to book with Medicare
- 1
Have your red, white, and blue Medicare card ready, or your Medicare Advantage card if you have one.
- 2
Book a session online through our secure client portal. It takes about 30 seconds.
- 3
We verify your Medicare mental health benefits, including any Medigap or Advantage layer, and confirm what you will owe before your first appointment.
- 4
Come to your first session, which is an intake, by secure video from wherever you are. If your coverage details change, we tell you before it costs you anything.
What we treat
What does therapy here actually look like?
The first three sessions follow a clear structure, so you always know what is coming next.
- Getting started
Your first session is an intake. Your therapist asks what brought you in and about your history, and you rate the intensity of what you are feeling from 0 to 10. That becomes your baseline. You set a recurring weekly time before you leave.
- Mapping what is behind it
Your therapist walks through your life across stages, looking for the patterns and strengths behind what brought you in. You can decline any question and keep any answer short.
- Writing the plan together
You and your therapist build the plan together. Goals are tied to what you came in for, each with concrete objectives, plus one personal goal that matters to you.
- Ongoing
Weekly sessions work the plan. Once a month you and your therapist review standardized measures together to see whether it is working, and the plan is adjusted from what they show.
Therapy here is measured, not guessed
Once a month you have a measurement-based care review. You complete standardized measures, and your therapist reviews the trend with you. If something is not working, the plan changes. Regular therapy is the work. The review is the navigation system that keeps it pointed at the right target.
Sessions are weekly for the first two months to build a foundation, then frequency is reassessed with you. You set the pace, and you share only what you are comfortable sharing.

Medicare questions
Is MindView Therapy in-network with Medicare in Rochester?
Yes. Medicare clients in Rochester see us by secure video from anywhere in New York State, with New York licensed clinicians on the other end of the call.
Do you have an office in Rochester?
We do not, and honesty on that point matters to us. Rochester Medicare clients are seen entirely by video. The nearest MindView office is Buffalo's, about 75 miles from the city.
What will therapy cost me on Original Medicare?
In 2026, after the $283 Part B deductible, Medicare pays 80 percent of the approved amount and you owe 20 percent. If you carry a Medigap supplement it usually covers that 20 percent, often bringing a session to zero out of pocket. We confirm your exact layers before you book.
I have a Medicare Advantage plan. Is that different?
Yes, in a good way for predictability. Advantage plans replace the 80/20 arrangement with their own copay schedule, so you pay a set amount per session. Which amount depends on your plan, and we verify it before your first appointment.
Does Medicare cover couples counseling?
Generally not when the relationship itself is the focus. Medicare covers treatment of a diagnosed condition, so family sessions that are part of treating your condition can be covered while standalone relationship counseling is not. We sort out which applies before you are ever billed.
I just turned 65 and had therapy through my old job plan. Can I keep going?
Yes. Moving from an employer plan onto Medicare does not mean starting over. Bring your new coverage details, we verify them, and therapy continues, with us or fresh with us, under the Part B benefit.
