SB 59: Collaborate Care Model Service Delivery method

New Futures supports SB 59.

SB 59 would increase access to behavioral health care by supporting and expanding the so-called Collaborative Care Model.  This bill proposes to allow primary care providers to bill commercial insurance for services provided through the Collaborative Care Model.  The model, which teams together a primary care provider, care manager and psychiatric consultant to develop a treatment plan and track a patient’s progress, has been shown to eliminate barriers to care, improve clinical outcomes and reduce treatment costs.
