As adolescent mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety became more prevalent, clinicians found themselves increasingly fielding complex and time-consuming questions. These mild to moderate conditions required consistent follow-up and oversight, yet the surge in demand for mental health services made it difficult for patients to access timely care, particularly from providers who accepted their insurance. Many adolescents went without necessary treatment.  Thanks to a powerful partnership with **Northwest AHEC** and the guidance of **Lara Dickerson, MHA,** Senior Quality Improvement Specialist, the practice chose a different path—one of innovation, collaboration, and compassion. | ![IMG_2293](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_2293.jpeg?width=500&height=375&name=IMG_2293.jpeg) *Adair Stewart, Dr. Elizabeth Allen, Dr. Gretchen Hoyle, Lara Dickerson, Jennifer Cleland Green, Lauren Stokes* | | --- | ### **The Challenge** Primary care pediatricians face a dilemma. Mental health visits are longer, emotionally taxing, and historically under-reimbursed. Yet the need is undeniable. Twin City Pediatrics chose to lean in—embracing the challenge rather than deflecting it. The question became: *Can mental health care in pediatrics be both impactful and financially viable?* The answer, it turns out, is yes. ### **The Solution: Collaborative Care Model (CoCM)** With coaching from Lara Dickerson and guidance from AHEC Practice Support Services, Twin City Pediatrics implemented the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM).  A practice which emphasizes collaboration between primary care physicians, care managers, and psychiatric consultants to improve access, outcomes, and patient satisfaction within the pediatric medical home.  Key components of the model include: - A **Behavioral Health Care Manager (BHCM)** providing core services like parent coaching, brief therapeutic interventions, and referral coordination. - A **Psychiatric Consultant** offering oversight and subspecialty advice.. - A **Primary Care Provider** trained in pediatric physical health. - **Validated clinical tools** (PHQ-9, GAD-7, Vanderbilt, etc.) for measurement-based care. - Customized **EHR workflows** and a **patient registry** to track progress and enable billing for behavioral health services within the primary care practice. ### **Practice Support Team Impact** The journey began with a conversation at the 2023 NC Pediatric Society Meeting, leading to a partnership with Northwest AHEC. Practice coach Lara Dickerson became a key ally, meeting monthly with the team for two years. Her support included: - Coordinated with internal Novant departments (HR, billing, IT, compliance). - Billing guidance and documentation templates. - Consultation with NC Medicaid on psychiatric consultant roles. - Staff training modules. - Troubleshooting billing issues. - Setting BHCM workload benchmarks. - Secured a **$50,000 Capacity Building Fund grant** from [Community Care of NC](https://www.communitycarenc.org/newsroom/cocm-capacity-building-fund-application) to support BHCM staffing. Thanks to this comprehensive support, the program not only launched - it thrived. ### **The Results** By June 2025, the program became **revenue-positive**, six months ahead of schedule. With monthly BHCM costs of $5,400 and over $13,000 billed in June alone, the practice expects $6,500 in revenue—exceeding expenses by more than $1,100 per month. Today, the program includes a growing number of enrolled patients - many with complex needs - and is delivering tangible improvements in the lives of children and their families. > “The Psychiatric Collaborative Care Model has empowered our practice to provide meaningful, evidence-based mental health care for our pediatric patients. Our success is replicable, sustainable, and deeply impactful.” > — *Gretchen S. Hoyle, MD - Twin City Pediatrics* > “It was amazing to see how this model enables primary care practices to spend adequate time with each patient on physical and mental health concerns, developing treatment plans collaboratively with specialists and making a significant difference for kids in our community.” > — *Christopher Jones, DrPH, MHA - Northwest AHEC* ### **From Patients & Families** > “I’m so glad he’s finally going to get the help he needs.” > “I’ve felt so alone for so long.

Our team recently had the opportunity to volunteer at [**Ronald McDonald House Charities® of the Piedmont Triad, Inc. (RMHCPT)**](https://rmhcpt.org/), where we spent the day giving back to families in need. ### A Day of Service ![IMG_6568](https://go.northwestahec.wakehealth.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_6568.jpeg?width=300&height=225&name=IMG_6568.jpeg)Our team divided into groups to assist with various tasks around the House. Some of us packed nutritious lunches for families staying at RMHCPT (or receiving care at one of our local pediatric intensive care units), ensuring they had one less thing to worry about as they focused on their children receiving medical care. Others baked brownies to provide a small but meaningful treat, while another group cleaned the playroom and assisted with other household needs. Every task, no matter how big or small, contributed to making the House a true “home away from home” for families facing challenging times. ### The Mission of RMHCPT Ronald McDonald House Charities® of the Piedmont Triad is an independent, community-supported 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Located near [Atrium Health Levine Children’s Brenner Children’s Hospital](https://www.wakehealth.edu/locations/hospitals/brenner-childrens) and other medical facilities, RMHCPT provides a comfortable, supportive environment for families with children undergoing medical treatment. Since opening in 1984, the House has served as a place of refuge, offering accommodations, meals, and emotional support to families in need. ### Learning and Bonding as a Team Volunteering at RMHCPT was not just about giving back; it was also an opportunity for our team to come together, learn more about our community, and reflect on the impact we can make. Touring the House and hearing stories about the families who stay there reinforced the importance of the work being done. It was a meaningful experience that left us inspired and grateful for the opportunity to contribute. ### How You Can Help Want to support RMHCPT and the families they serve? Here are a few ways you can make a difference: - **Volunteer**: Give your time and talents to assist with various needs at the House. - **Sport a Shirt**: Purchase a RMHCPT shirt to support the cause. [Learn more here](https://rmhcpt.org/sport-a-shirt/). - **Recycle Pop Tabs**: Collect aluminum pop tabs to help raise funds. [Find out how](https://rmhcpt.org/make-a-difference/pop-tabs/). - **Attend an Event**: Participate in fundraising events that support this incredible organization. Our day at RMHCPT was a reminder that small acts of kindness can make a big impact. We look forward to continuing our commitment to service and encourage others to find ways to give back to their communities as well.
