Licensing & Compliance
Behavioral Health Licensing and Compliance
Highpoint Solutions also offers behavioral health licensing and compliance services. We aid businesses in getting all the accreditations and licensing that they need to operate in the state of Maryland.
Behavioral health licensing and compliance is an important process that’s regulated by various levels of government in order to ensure the safety and quality of services provided. The licensing process includes multiple steps, such as submitting an application as well as a review by a board or committee, criminal background checks for both the applicant and any employees, and often requires ongoing training requirements. Depending on the jurisdiction, behavioral health practitioners may also need either state or national certification in order to be legally eligible to practice.
The purpose of this process is to provide assurance that those providing mental health care are qualified professionals who understand ethical standards for counseling and know how to properly interact with clients. This protects both patients seeking treatment as well as their families from potential harm that could be caused by an untrained provider. It also ensures that counselors are held to the same standards of care that are expected from other health professionals.
It can be a daunting process when trying to acquire the necessary licensing and accreditations. The good news is that at Hight Point Solutions, we handle all the heavy lifting and make it an effortless process. Depending on the organization we can get JHACO or CARF accredited. We also submit for state license and any insurance accreditation that needs to be done.
One of the most important parts of running a behavioral health company is staying in compliance with whichever accreditation that you acquire. We develop processes that educate your staff with the knowledge that will always have you in compliance with federal and state regulations. This ensures that your company runs smoothly and avoids any legal repercussions.
