Frequently asked: telehealth compliance for Psychologists

What interstate compact applies to Psychologists?

The Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact. Compact status varies by state — see the state-by-state table above for current coverage.

Which states currently have live privileges for psychologists?

41 jurisdictions currently issue live privileges. 2 more have enacted the applicable compact(s) but are not yet issuing privileges. See the state-by-state table above for the full picture.

What do I do in a state where the compact does not apply?

You need a full state license issued by that state’s licensing board. TeleVerify flags every session whose patient state you don’t hold a license (or live compact privilege) in.

How do I verify current compact status before treating a patient?

Check the specific state’s TeleVerify compliance page — it aggregates licensing board rules, compact membership, and consent/prescribing rules verified against source data. Every session you run through TeleVerify re-verifies these rules against the patient’s live location.

Verify psychologists coverage before every session

TeleVerify checks your credentials against each patient's state at session start, generates a signed compliance record, and flags gaps before they become audit findings.
