Most practices have a referral process. Few have an engagement process.
Cabana brings a Behavioral Health Care Manager, the clinical workflows, and the between-visit support your patients need — right into your practice. Behavioral health gets managed, without building a new department.
Meeting patients where they are — now across Louisiana
As behavioral health provider shortages grow, primary care has become the front door for behavioral health — and access often comes down to what happens between visits. Rather than asking you to build something new, Cabana brings the people, workflows, and engagement to support patients throughout care.
Recruited, trained, and managed by Cabana — woven into your daily workflow, on-site when space allows. You don't post a job or manage the hire.
On hand for caseload review and clinical guidance, so your providers are never managing complex behavioral health alone. No separate contract needed.
Patient tracking, measurement-based care, care coordination and navigation, and continuous engagement that keeps people connected between visits.
Collaborative Care is backed by decades of research showing lower PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores over time — not just better coordination.
randomized controlled trials show Collaborative Care outperforms usual care for depression and anxiety.

Between appointments, patients can join live, professionally moderated groups — and realize they're not the only one. That connection keeps people engaged long enough for care to work, and engagement signals flow back to the care team so no one slips quietly away.

● Live groupsCollaborative Care is an evidence-based model that integrates behavioral health directly into primary care. Instead of referring patients out and hoping they follow through, your team manages behavioral health conditions — like depression and anxiety — inside the primary care setting, supported by a Behavioral Health Care Manager (BHCM) and a consulting psychiatrist. Research consistently shows it improves outcomes and reaches patients who would otherwise fall through the cracks.
Cabana is a turnkey CoCM program — we integrate seamlessly into your clinic without disrupting your existing workflows. We provide the Behavioral Health Care Manager and Psychiatric Consultant, handle all program infrastructure, and work directly with your billing team to ensure full compliance with your practice's standards and regulations. Our documentation and billing processes are already built with those requirements in mind.
The PCP remains the leader of the patient's care team — that doesn't change. What changes is that they're no longer managing behavioral health needs alone. The PCP continues to oversee the patient's overall health and prescribe medications, but is now supported by a BHCM who handles day-to-day behavioral health management, follow-up, and brief therapeutic interventions. CoCM enhances the PCP's role; it doesn't add to their burden.
Cabana provides three things your practice doesn't have to build: a Behavioral Health Care Manager (recruited, trained, and managed by Cabana; on-site when space is available); a Psychiatric Consultant (available for caseload review and clinical guidance; no separate contract needed); and platform, registry, and billing support (patient tracking, outcome measurement, documentation, and billing workflow infrastructure).
No. Cabana provides the care manager capacity. You don't post a job, conduct interviews, or manage the hire. The BHCM works within your practice as a clinical partner — supervised by Cabana, coordinated with your team.
We believe a warm handoff is essential. When a PCP can walk a patient down the hall to meet the BHCM in person, engagement rates climb significantly compared to a virtual referral or an outside appointment. That relationship — built in the same space where the patient already feels comfortable — is what keeps people connected to care. We place our BHCMs on-site whenever your practice has space to accommodate them.
Billing runs through the PCP, not the BHCM. CoCM is designed to enhance the care your practice is already providing — it does not pull billing away from your providers or compete with existing revenue streams. Your practice bills Medicare and Medicaid directly using established Collaborative Care reimbursement codes. Before launch, we work with your billing department to confirm that CoCM codes are included within your existing contracts. From there, Cabana handles the documentation infrastructure, registry, and workflow support to ensure your encounters meet billing criteria and are fully documented — your team does the billing, we make sure the work is billable. No prior experience with CoCM billing is required.
There is no upfront cost to pilot practices. Cabana supports your team in standing up a new CMS reimbursement stream. Our support is structured as a revenue share, not a fee — the program is designed to generate net new revenue for your practice.
Pilot implementations typically take 60–90 days from agreement to first patient. Cabana manages care manager placement, workflow integration, EMR setup, and registry configuration. Your team's lift during onboarding is minimal — we do the heavy work.
Cabana works with primary care practices of all sizes, including FQHCs, independent physician groups, rural health clinics, and specialty practices. The best-fit practices are those seeing patients with unmet behavioral health needs who want a structured, sustainable way to address them inside the visit — not through referral alone.
No — it complements it. Your existing behavioral health team handles complex or specialty cases. CoCM addresses the large volume of patients who need support but never make it to a referral. Think of it as primary care-level behavioral health: PHQ-9 tracking, brief interventions, medication management in collaboration with your providers. Your BH team becomes the step-up pathway, not the front door.
CoCM is a strong fit for OB-GYN. Perinatal mental health — including postpartum depression screening and follow-through — is one of the highest-impact applications of the model. Cabana has experience helping practices build a systematic, billable perinatal behavioral health workflow.
Cabana is currently launching in Louisiana. If you're outside Louisiana, we'd still love to connect — we're building our expansion pipeline now and want to understand where the need is greatest.
