Connecticut General Statutes Title 17B. Social Services § 17b-307a. Medicaid reimbursement system incentivizing collaboration between primary care providers and behavioral and mental health care providers for HUSKY Health program members

(a) As used in this section:

(b) To the extent permissible under federal law, the Commissioner of Social Services shall implement a Medicaid reimbursement system that incentivizes collaboration between primary care providers and behavioral and mental health care providers on an integrated care plan for a HUSKY Health program member. Such reimbursement system shall recognize that multiple providers may be involved in providing care. The commissioner may adopt the Collaborative Care Model to expand access to behavioral and mental health services for HUSKY Health program members and utilize the CoCM codes approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to provide reimbursement to participating providers. The commissioner may take into consideration the potential impact on federal reimbursement when implementing such system.
