People have told me I need (yet another) psychologist for therapy, so I had to search to find someone who says they treat OCD and take Medicare, but I found one, and I see him tomorrow. I don't know if he'll just talk to me like all the other psychologists did, or actually treat the OCD, but we'll see.

You need to not describe but show pictures you showed us. Saying that your house is disgusting means nothing. I often say "my house is a mess I got to clean asap", it means nothing. My house isn't a mess, it's just not up to my standard at that moment. It means maybe I didn't put a pair of shoes away or didn't polish coffee table for a week. It doesn't mean anything.
Since you have contamination/cleanliness OCD and you say house is disgusting they maybe think it just not spotless enough. They might think it's all in your head. Show them pictures
