Engaging Payers and Maximizing Reimbursement for the Collaborative Care Model

Join the Center of Excellence for Integrated Health Solutions and the American Psychiatric Association on Sept. 9, 2025, 1-2:30 p.m. ET, for Engaging Payers and Maximizing Reimbursement for the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM).

The CoCM offers a compelling solution for health plans seeking strategies to improve behavioral health access, quality and total cost of care. But, while collaborative care delivers strong clinical and financial value, many payers and providers face challenges with implementation, payment, and discussing the value of the model.

This webinar, which will include a live Q&A session, will help health care providers develop strategies for communicating with payers about issues such as payment, quality, population health management and value-based care.

Participants will leave this session able to:

  • Describe the unique billing components of the CoCM.
  • Define key terms used in discussions with payers relevant to integrated behavioral health.
  • Describe several value stories for CoCM that align with payer interests.

Speaker: Tristan Gorrindo, MD, CEO, Forza Behavioral Consulting

This session is ideal for primary care and behavioral health leaders, payer representatives and system leaders interested in advancing value-based integrated care.
