Accountable Care Collaborative (ACC) Phase III Behavioral Health Provider Updates
What does ACC Phase III mean for me?
The launch of ACC Phase III brings several billing changes for our behavioral health provider network, most of which stem from Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) action.
Existing behavioral health providers do not need new contracts for ACC Phase III unless one of our employees contacts you.
With the launch of ACC Phase III on July 1, 2025, we (Colorado Access) will have just one Regional Accountable Entity (RAE) region – the new Region 4 – but will still cover Denver, Douglas, Adams, and Arapahoe counties. Elbert County will now be part of Northeast Health Partners’ region. We are jointly communicating with members in Elbert County to ensure they are supported during the transition.
View our new webpage to learn about changes to peer services, supportive housing, and integrated care billing, as well as new direction from the State regarding essential providers and the upcoming implementation of the National Correct Coding Initiative, 1115 waiver services, and the Behavioral Health Administrative Service Organizations. You can also find information on provider network needs for the soon-to-launch Colorado System of Care.
Thank you for being our providers and our partners. Our provider teams are ready to help answer your questions. Please email us at providernetworkservices@coaccess.com if you need help or have additional questions!
