Your Path to Excellence Begins Here
At Next Step Health & Human Service Consulting, we understand that navigating the complex world of accreditation and licensing can feel overwhelming. Our structured consultation process provides clarity, confidence, and a clear roadmap to success.
For New Clients
Initial Discovery Consultation - $75
Your journey begins with a focused 60-minute consultation where we will:
- Assess your organization’s current accreditation readiness
- Identify which accreditation path best suits your services (CARF, JCAHO, ACHC)
- Outline Maryland BHA 10.63 licensing requirements specific to your programs
- Provide realistic timeline expectations based on your current stage
- Answer your questions about the accreditation process
This consultation fee is applied to your service package when you move forward with Next Step.
