Summary
Independence Blue Cross reissued policy MA00.052b with no substantive changes, but added three new HCPCS codes (G0568, G0569, G0570) effective 01/01/2026 for reporting Psychiatric Collaborative Care Management services. The billing team must update systems to recognize and properly bill these new codes alongside existing CPT 99492 for CoCM services.
Action Required
By 12/31/2025: Billing team must update billing software and encounter forms to recognize and enable billing for HCPCS codes G0568, G0569, and G0570 for Psychiatric Collaborative Care Management services. Verify that only providers with an approved CoCM program (submitted to collaborativecarepolicy@ibx.com and approved by Independence Blue Cross) are permitted to bill these codes. Do not process claims using G0568, G0569, or G0570 from providers without documented program approval. Update internal documentation and provider bulletins to clarify the distinction between CPT 99492 and the new HCPCS codes. Failure to update billing rules will result in claim rejections or denials for non-compliant submissions.
