Psychological Health Center Business Plan


Psychological Health Center Business Plan


Amesbury Psychological Center is a multi-disciplinary behavioral health care facility that offers substance abuse and mental health services to the Merrimack Valley. Our focus is to provide cost-effective, quality treatment. Our mission is to create, promote, and maintain a positive customer relationship with our clients, Anna Jaques Hospital (AJH), payors, associates and staff, and our community.

The market for services in behavioral health is growing, as demonstrated by the expansion of the Center’s operations over the past two years. Massachusetts recently passed legislation regarding mental health parity, which will go into effect in month 1. This bill requires that insurance companies offer benefits for biologically-based behavioral health disorders in the same way as for other health disorders. This will help to sustain the projected growth. Currently the Outpatient Psychiatric Center makes approximately four phone call per day to other providers.

This is the key to success in this turnkey project:

  1. An ability to transfer existing hospital behavioral health contracts to the Center.
  2. Credentialing clinicians in a timely manner.
  3. Obtaining initial working capital.
  4. You can contract with your clinicians for reasonable rates.
  5. Successfully developing and implementing a billing and collection program.
  6. Listening to our customers and striving to fulfill their needs.
  7. How to get a medicaid provider #

The business plan provides a map for sustaining growth, improving revenue collections, and increasing our bottom line to produce a profit.
