A specific question deserves a specific answer.
Our knowledge base tells you what the rule is. It cannot tell you whether it reaches your entity, in your state, with your ownership and your payer mix. That is what this is for. Scoped before it starts. Finished when the question is answered.
The moment general guidance runs out.
It may or may not reach you
Illinois requires divestment of non-licensee ownership by January 2027. Whether that touches your structure is a question with a date attached.
You do not know what you bought
You acquired a practice, or you were advised years ago by someone who did not know ABA. You would rather find out now than when a buyer does.
The next state breaks the structure
Expansion is where a structure that worked quietly stops working, and a multistate group discovers it must standardise on its strictest state.
Most of the cost of answering a compliance question is the research. Most of it is already done.
Two engagements we do as projects.
Most of this work is a question. These two are projects.
Expansion advisory
Which states you can enter, how long until you can bill, and which ones change your ownership. Ranked and sequenced.
Sell side due diligence
The buyer has counsel, a diligence list, and a banker. We take the seat on your side.
What you get.
A written answer
Your question, against your facts. Every statutory claim cited to primary law. The reasoning shown, not asserted, so you can act on it or hand it to counsel.
The bad news, if there is any
If you are fine, you get that, plus what would have to change for you to stop being fine. If you have a problem, you get the problem, the options, and what each one costs you.
A fixed scope
Agreed before anything starts. No meter running. If the work is bigger than the question, we say so before we begin, not halfway through.
The right domain
A general healthcare adviser treats ABA as a variant of medicine. That is exactly the error. In most states the corporate-practice doctrine is medicine-specific and does not reach behavior analysis at all, which means much of the caution operators are sold is unnecessary, and the real risk is somewhere else.
Read the free version first. Seriously.
We publish the whole framework: six pillars, every statutory claim verified against primary law. An operator who has read it asks sharper questions and needs less of our time.
- The entity decision
- Ownership and management companies
- How poor structure destroys a sale
- The full knowledge base
If after reading you still cannot tell what applies to you, that is not a failure of the material. That is the point where the question became yours.
What are you trying to decide?
Tell us the question and the situation. We will tell you whether it is one we can answer, what it takes, and what it costs, before anything starts.
Bring us the questionABAWiser provides research, analysis, and compliance advisory services. We are not a law firm, we do not provide legal advice, and no engagement creates an attorney-client relationship. Where a question requires a legal determination, working alongside your counsel is part of the work.
