Medical assistance coverage provision of psychiatric Collaborative Care Model

This bill requires Minnesota's medical assistance program (similar to Medicaid) to cover the Psychiatric Collaborative Care Model for eligible patients starting July 1, 2025. The model involves primary care teams (including a primary care provider, care manager, and psychiatric consultant) delivering integrated mental health care using specific evidence-based methods. Coverage applies when providers use designated billing codes (99492, 99493, 99494, G2214, G0512). It directly affects Medicaid patients in Minnesota seeking mental health services through this coordinated care approach.
