Case Study

Forza Behavioral partnered with a behavioral health company as it approached a series B funding raise.  In order to prepare for national scaling, we engaged in the following areas:

Operational Scaling & Strategy Execution
  • Worked directly with leadership to design scalable clinical and operational models including integrating tech platforms.

  • Helped translate strategic vision into executable operational roadmaps, aligned with behavioral health best practices and reimbursement realities.

Regulatory & Compliance Readiness
  • Many early-stage companies underestimate the compliance risks in behavioral health. We helped the company proactively structure itself to avoid CPOM violations, licensing gaps, and billing pitfalls.

Clinical Quality & Differentiation
  • Forza supported the clinical and quality teams in building measurable care pathways that enhance patient outcomes — and distinguish the company in a competitive market where everyone claims ‘evidence-based care’.

Payer Strategy & Value-Based Care
  • We guided the company in developing payer relationships and preparing for value-based arrangements — including contracting strategy, clinical KPIs, and outcome reporting frameworks.

Change Management & Talent Support
  • We coached portfolio through the growth transitions — including helping to define C-level roles and advising on clinical org structure.

Messaging & Stakeholder Alignment
  • We worked with teams to articulate a clinical narrative that resonates with patients, clinicians, investors, partners, and regulators — bridging mission and margin.
