Are you thinking about buying a behavioral health business—but don’t know what you don’t know? Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or a total outsider to the industry, Buying Into Behavioral Health is your guide to understanding the hidden challenges and massive opportunities in this niche.
Hosted by business builder and investor Miles Noland, this podcast dives into what it really takes to buy and grow a behavioral health business—especially if you’re not a clinician. From decoding complex billing systems to navigating state-specific rules, credentialing nightmares, Medicaid nuances, and licensure requirements, we break down what matters most before and after the deal closes.
Each episode unpacks key questions like:
- What services are billable, and under what credentials?
- How do you know if a business is actually profitable—or just looks good on paper?
- What are red flags in financials, staffing, or operations that industry outsiders often miss?
- How do state regulations and payer mix (Medicaid vs. commercial insurance) shape the business model?
- What does “clinical supervision” mean—and why could one missing person shut down your revenue?
Plus, hear real stories from buyers, sellers, and operators who’ve made mistakes (and big wins) along the way.
Whether you're eyeing your first behavioral health acquisition or expanding your portfolio into new states and services, this show will give you the clarity and confidence to do smart deals in a complicated industry.
