Supporting the Collaborative Care Model within the Primary Care setting

By supporting improved communication between Primary care medical providers (PCPs), behavioral health specialists and care managers, Cobalt can potentially lower healthcare costs by reducing the workload of PCPs managing patients with complex mental health conditions, allowing PCPs to focus on their core responsibilities and see more patients.
