Bill > SF8

This bill adds a new provision to Minnesota's medical assistance (Medicaid) program to cover the Psychiatric Collaborative Care Model (CoCM), an evidence-based integrated behavioral health service delivery method. The model involves a collaborative team consisting of a primary care provider, a care manager, and a psychiatric consultant, focusing on care directed by the primary care team, structured care management, regular clinical status assessments using validated tools, and treatment modifications as needed. Specifically, medical assistance will cover this model when providers use specific billing codes (99492, 99493, 99494, G2214, and G0512). The bill defines the Psychiatric Collaborative Care Model as an integrated service method described in the Federal Register, aimed at providing more comprehensive and coordinated mental health care within primary care settings. The provision will become effective on July 1, 2025, or upon federal approval, whichever occurs later, with the commissioner of human services required to notify the revisor of statutes once federal approval is obtained.
