AI Summary
This bill amends The Fiscal Code to establish the Collaborative Care Model and Primary Care Behavioral Health Model Implementation Program. It provides grants to primary care physicians and practices to help them set up and deliver behavioral health integration services using these evidence-based models. The bill also provides technical assistance grants to regional collaborative care technical assistance centers to help primary care providers implement these models. The funding for these grants comes from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The bill aims to improve access to integrated behavioral health services in primary care settings, particularly in rural areas and counties with high suicide or overdose rates.
