MICHIGAN
Selling a home care or behavioral health business in Michigan
Michigan is one of the few states with no state license for home health or non-medical home care agencies, so buyers diligence Medicare certification, Medicaid enrollment, and contracts instead. Substance use disorder programs do need a LARA license, and a change of ownership requires a new licensure application. Michigan licenses behavior analysts and has covered ABA through Medicaid for members under 21 since 2016.
