Frequently Asked Questions

Advaa Health provides access to experienced, board-certified psychiatrists, eliminating the need for practices to recruit or manage psychiatric staff directly.
Yes. Many of our partner practices successfully bundle CoCM with Chronic Care Management (CCM) and Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) to deliver comprehensive care and enhance revenue potential.
The primary care provider remains at the center of care, supported by a behavioral care manager and consulting psychiatrist. The team collaborates to manage and adjust treatments based on patient progress.
