This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 256B.0671, by adding a new subdivision that provides medical assistance coverage for the Psychiatric Collaborative Care Model. This model is defined as an evidence-based, integrated behavioral health service delivery method that involves a collaborative arrangement among a primary care team, which includes a primary care provider, a care manager, and a psychiatric consultant. The bill outlines key elements of the model, such as care directed by the primary care team, structured care management, regular assessments of clinical status, and modification of treatment as necessary.

Additionally, the bill specifies that medical assistance will cover the Psychiatric Collaborative Care Model when certain billing codes are used, including codes 99492, 99493, 99494, G2214, and G0512. The effective date for this coverage is set for July 1, 2025, or upon federal approval, whichever occurs later. The commissioner of human services is tasked with notifying the revisor of statutes once federal approval is obtained.
