The Integrated Care Recipe

One of the most common models for integrating primary and behavioral health services is the Psychiatric Collaborative Care Model (CoCM).;And the use of the model is growing. Between 2018 and 2024, the number of commercially insured consumers involved in the model increased 40-fold nationally, from 3,814 to 153,356 (for children and adolescents, the increase was 148-fold). This equates to 317 per 100,000 consumers with a behavioral health diagnosis—up from 12 per 100,000 in 2018.
