St. Paul, Minn.-based Partners Behavioral Healthcare has acquired four locations from Minneapolis-based Nuway, The Post Bulletin reported March 12.
Parenters Behavioral took over operations of Nuway’s intensive outpatient treatment centers in Rochester, Duluth, Mankato and St. Cloud, Minn., on March 10, a Nuway spokesperson told the news outlet.
The acquisition comes after Nuway filed notice indicating it would lay off more than 170 staff members, according to the Post Bulletin. In February, a Minnesota judge ruled the state could withhold Medicaid reimbursements from Nuway amid a federal investigation into its billing practices.
Some Nuway staff were given the option to transfer their employment from Nuway to Partners Behavioral, a spokesperson told the Post Bulletin.
Partners Behavioral provides mental health and substance-use treatment services at five locations in Minnesota.
At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place October 20–22 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
