MARYLAND
Selling a home care or behavioral health business in Maryland
Maryland requires a certificate of need for new home health agencies, but an acquisition only needs a Notice of Acquisition 60 days ahead. Residential service agencies need a new OHCQ license applied for 45 days before a change of ownership, and community behavioral health programs licensed under COMAR 10.63 need a new Agreement to Cooperate with the local authority when ownership changes.
