On January 1, 2017, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented the Psychiatric Collaborative Care Model (CoCM), which integrates behavioral health care services within primary care services. The CoCM is available for use by Medicare primary care providers and providers of other insurance companies.
