Statewide Strategies for Collaborative Care Adoption – Beyond the Billing Codes
Description

New York has long been a pioneer in implementation of the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM). New York State was the first state to provide Medicaid reimbursement for the model and has one of the largest numbers of providers doing CoCM in the country. New York will share information on the unique state-level approach to scaling CoCM and achieving clinical outcomes consistent with the CoCM RCTs. They will share how they established their program, what resources are most important, what the barriers are for adoption and scale, and what’s next for CoCM in New York.
