Summary
Michigan Medicaid now covers Psychiatric Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) services for mild to moderate behavioral health conditions in primary care settings, effective August 1, 2020. This creates new billing opportunities for primary care practices providing integrated behavioral health services through a team-based care model.
Action Required
By August 1, 2020: Primary care practices interested in CoCM services must establish care teams including a behavioral health care manager and psychiatric consultant. Implement patient registry system with validated screening tools (PHQ-9, GAD-7). Ensure documentation includes beneficiary information, assessment, treatment plan, progress monitoring, referrals, and medication management. Train staff on measurement-based treatment protocols with plan of care adjustments every 10-12 weeks.
