FasPsych Expands Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) Offerings to Help FQHCs, CMHCs, and Primary Care Providers Improve Behavioral Health Access and Medicaid Reimbursement

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - July 15, 2026 - FasPsych LLC, a leading provider of telepsychiatry and behavioral health staffing solutions, today announced an expansion of its Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) services. This increase in offerings helps Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs), and primary care providers implement the psychiatric collaborative care model more effectively-expanding access to integrated behavioral health treatment for patients while unlocking dedicated Medicaid billing codes that create sustainable revenue.

The Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) is a proven, team-based approach to behavioral health integration that embeds psychiatric expertise directly into primary care and similar settings. It brings together a Primary Care Provider (PCP), a Behavioral Health Care Manager (BHCM), and a Psychiatric Consultant (often delivered via telehealth) to deliver measurement-based, evidence-based care. This structure allows one psychiatric consultant to support hundreds of patients through regular caseload review rather than direct visits for every individual.

"FasPsych's expanded Collaborative Care Model support enables more FQHCs, CMHCs, and primary care organizations to overcome psychiatrist shortages and deliver high-quality integrated care where patients already receive their medical services," said a FasPsych spokesperson. "By helping clinics implement the psychiatric collaborative care model, we are expanding treatment access for Medicaid patients while giving providers reliable CoCM billing codes that improve financial sustainability."

More than 80 randomized controlled trials show that the Collaborative Care Model doubles improvement rates for depression compared to usual care and delivers strong outcomes for patients with comorbid chronic conditions. Additional benefits include reduced stigma, better continuity of care, improved equity, and lower costs through decreased emergency department visits and hospitalizations. The model is especially effective for Medicaid populations served by FQHCs and CMHCs. FasPsych specializes in providing services for such locations and other non traditional psychiatric service delivery https://faspsych.com/organizations/

For clinics and providers, the Collaborative Care Model introduces specific CPT and HCPCS codes that reimburse collaborative care management and psychiatric consultation activities:

99492 - Initial psychiatric collaborative care management, first 70 minutes in the first calendar month

99493 - Subsequent psychiatric collaborative care management, first 60 minutes in a subsequent month

99494 - Each additional 30 minutes (add-on)

G2214 - CoCM services, initial or subsequent month, 30 minutes

G0512 - Psychiatric CoCM services for FQHCs and RHCs (billable alongside prospective payment system rates in many states)

These CoCM billing codes generate predictable monthly per-patient revenue on top of standard visits. Many state Medicaid programs reimburse the codes, helping FQHCs, CMHCs, and other providers build sustainable Collaborative Care Model programs while tracking measurable outcomes.

FasPsych's expanded CoCM offerings include board-certified psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) for caseload-focused psychiatric consultation via telehealth, flexible staffing models, EHR and workflow integration support, and expertise in documentation and billing compliance required for successful Collaborative Care Model implementation.
