BHCOE Accreditation Badge & Logo Usage Guidelines

The BHCOE Accreditation Badge indicates that the user is a BHCOE-Accredited organization in good standing. The BHCOE Accreditation Badge does not imply that BHCOE has directly approved the company’s materials or representation used for sales, advertising, or other promotional efforts or that BHCOE has verified the accuracy of statements made by the organization on their materials.

BHCOE’s Accreditation Badge distinguishes BHCOE-Accredited organizations from other ABA organizations and assures patients of these companies’ adherence to BHCOE Standards of Excellence. The BHCOE Accreditation Badge must be displayed on each accredited organization’s website and must be displayed at accredited office and clinical locations, visible upon entry. In addition, the organization should denote the specific states accredited on any websites and other marketing materials, if operating in more than one state. As an added benefit, the BHCOE Accreditation Badge can also be displayed on promotional materials to help connect members across the industry worldwide.
