Why Guessing Is Riskier Than You Think
Rules change by state and by service. The same treatment can be fine in one state and need a medical director in the next.
This guide shows you what to look for, so you can grow without guessing.
Why this matters: getting clients. You can't book clients for a service you're scared to post. Once you know what's allowed, you can price it, post it, and fill your calendar with it. That's true if you're just starting or adding a service to a full book.
