CoCM providers can now be found on Find a Doctor search tool

Health care providers who have received designation in our Collaborated Care Model, or CoCM, program were added to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan’s Find a Doctor search feature in January.

This means that our members can now more easily locate a provider who delivers Collaborative Care in their practice — much like they do to find doctors who participate in other key programs, such as our Patient-Centered Medical Home program.

Designated providers, including OB/GYN providers, will be added to the provider search annually once PCMH and Collaborative Care designations are finalized. ​​​​​​​

Here’s how to find a CoCM-designated provider:

1. Sign in to bcbsm.com.
2. Click on Find a doctor under Doctors and Specialists.
3. Select All categories under the Doctors by name and Doctors by specialty options.



4. Start typing CoCM or Collaborative Care in the search bar. COCM in Doctors by specialty and COCM in All categories will be displayed. Click on one of these options.



5. You’ll receive a list of providers based on the location or other filters you may have added. You can identify that the provider delivers Collaborative Care because the CoCM logo will be in the Quality details section.

Click on the CoCM logo to get more information about Collaborative Care.

Background

The Collaborative Care Model is a value-based program based on the PCMH foundation. Providers with a Collaborative Care designation have a wide range of services and resources designed to:

• Offer extended access to the patient’s health care team, which includes a behavioral health care manager who works with the patient, consults with the primary care physician and has regular case review sessions with a consulting psychiatrist about the patient’s treatment progress.
• Help meet a patient’s health care goals and manage both chronic conditions and behavioral health needs.
• Track and monitor the care patients receive from all their health care providers.
• Work with patients to achieve remission from depression and anxiety.
