With tremendous changes in the behavioral health industry, there will continue to be opportunities to provide desperately needed treatment services to those suffering from substance use disorders, but the business models are changing rapidly. The traditional treatment models are finding it more difficult to survive as insurance payors and government payors repeatedly modify their reimbursement programs. Attracting patients has become more difficult as increased regulations have been imposed on marketing and compensation practices.

The professionals and attorneys at BHAP and Nelson Hardiman have carefully designed the curriculum of this Boot Camp to address these growing concerns in this webinar series.

Substance use disorder treatment providers must have appropriate licensing or certification in order to comply with government regulations and be approved for many payment sources. Determining which type of licensure or certification can be a daunting task, especially in restrictive states such as California, and this webinar explains the process and decision points needed to establish the appropriate path. While the content of this webinar is focused on California, much of the process is similar across the nation.
