Summary
Missouri has implemented a statewide Child Psychiatry Access Project (MO-CPAP) that provides primary care providers with telephone consultations from child and adolescent psychiatrists, referral services, and training for treating mild to moderate behavioral health issues in young patients. This is primarily an informational notice about available support services rather than a billing or coverage change.
Action Required
No immediate billing changes required. Primary care providers (family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine) may want to enroll in MO-CPAP at https://medicine.missouri.edu/mo-cpap to access consultation services for patients with behavioral health issues. This could potentially improve care coordination and outcomes but does not affect billing procedures.
