To find a Medicare-approved outpatient rehabilitation program in Pennsylvania, you must ensure the facility is a certified outpatient mental health center or a hospital outpatient department. For residents in the Lehigh Valley, including Easton and Bethlehem, Recovery Cove provides Medicare-approved intensive outpatient programs (IOP).

You can follow these steps to secure and verify your treatment:

1. Obtain Physician Certification: Medicare requires a doctor to certify that structured outpatient treatment is medically necessary and more intensive than standard weekly therapy.
2. Verify Facility Status: Confirm the provider accepts Medicare Part B, which is the primary payer for outpatient therapy, counseling, and medication management.
3. Conduct a Benefits Check: You can call Recovery Cove at 484-549-2683 for a free, confidential benefits verification. They can often verify eligibility in real-time for Original Medicare, Medicare Advantage (Part C), and Medigap plans.
4. Check the Official Medicare Website: You can also use the provider search tools on the official [Medicare website](https://www.medicare.gov) to locate approved facilities near you.
5. Schedule an Assessment: Once a Medicare-approved facility is identified, you will undergo a clinical evaluation to create an individualized care plan that meets Medicare’s medical-necessity criteria.
