Compacts have become a popular mechanism for states to create exceptions to full in-state licensure, specifically for out-of-state telehealth providers. Only five jurisdictions are not members of any compact tracked by CCHP. Furthermore, among the twelve jurisdictions that lack both limited licensure exceptions and registration processes, nine participate in at least one compact.
