Collaborative Care (CoCM)

---

Collaborative Care (CoCM) is an advanced Behavioral Health Integration model supported by Medicare and commercial payers. It connects your primary care provider, a behavioral health care manager, and a consulting psychiatrist to create a structured, team-based approach to mental health treatment.

We offer Collaborative Care (CoCM)—a proven, evidence-based model that integrates behavioral health care into the primary care setting. This approach helps us treat patients with depression, anxiety, and other common mental health conditions through a coordinated care team, improving outcomes without requiring a separate mental health visit.

• Regular follow-ups and symptom tracking using validated tools (e.g., PHQ-9, GAD-7)
• Treatment adjustments overseen by a psychiatric consultant
• Faster access to mental health support—without leaving your clinic

• Evidence-based model recognized by CMS and APA
• Reimbursable under CPT codes 99492, 99493, and 99494

Collaborative Care allows clinics to deliver high-quality mental health care without needing an in-house psychiatrist or therapist for every patient. It’s evidence-based, reimbursable, and patient-centered—making it a win-win for clinics and their communities.
