OHIO
Selling a home care or behavioral health business in Ohio
Ohio only began licensing home health agencies under Revised Code Chapter 3740 after the 2021 budget, so many agencies hold licenses that are only a few years old. Its certificate of need program covers long-term care beds rather than home health, Medicaid home care runs through waivers such as PASSPORT and MyCare Ohio, and OhioMHAS behavioral health certificates do not transfer to a buyer.
