Summary
Maryland Medicaid has expanded coverage of the Collaborative Care Model (CCM) statewide for HealthChoice and Medicaid Fee-for-Service enrollees at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). This allows FQHCs to provide integrated behavioral health and primary care services under the collaborative care model and bill for these services through Maryland Medicaid.
Action Required
Maryland FQHC billing teams should verify their ability to bill collaborative care model services for HealthChoice and Medicaid Fee-for-Service patients. Contact Maryland Medicaid for specific billing codes and documentation requirements for CCM services. Update billing procedures to ensure proper coding for integrated behavioral health services.
