12.15.2023 Collaboration Between Medical Care and Behavioral Health Care Does collaboration between health plan staff clinicians meet the intent of the collaboration requirement in QI 4, Elements A and B?

Typically, no as health plan staff are not practicing practitioners within the health plan's network. The intent of collaboration requirements are for organizations to demonstrate collaboration between their behavioral healthcare delivery system (network practitioners) and medical care delivery system (network practitioners). 

Note: Demonstrating collaboration with an MBHO is acceptable for the collaboration with “behavioral healthcare practitioners” component of the requirement.
