    Hypnotherapy 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.

    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.

    Hypnosis 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.
