SPECIAL WEBINAR
Collaborative Care Management Capacity Building Fund
Tuesday, January 28 | 12:15-1 p.m.
The NC General Assembly has earmarked $5 million for capacity building for Medicaid-enrolled primary care practices across the state to adopt Collaborative Care Management (CoCM). NCDHHS is contracting with CCNC to manage the program in partnership with NC AHEC’s Practice Support coaching.
CoCM is an evidence-based behavioral health integration model designed to support primary care clinicians in assessing and treating patients with mild to moderate behavioral health conditions. An evidence-based model shown to be more effective than usual care, CoCM improves patient outcomes, increases satisfaction for both patients and providers, and reduces healthcare costs and the stigma related to mental health and substance use disorders.
The capacity building fund has a maximum award of $50,000 per practice. A primary care practice entity applying on behalf of multiple primary care practice sites may receive a maximum of three awards per entity (covering a maximum of 9 sites). Each clinic site may be eligible to receive awards of $50,000 to begin a CoCM model in-house. Additionally, $30,000 is available for practices to expand an existing in-house CoCM model and $20,000 is available to practice sites meeting Phase 1 eligibility, but planning to outsource staffing to a third-party, turn-key company.
Please join for a webinar on January 28 from 12:15-1 p.m. for a review on the new funding and an opportunity to ask questions.
