CCHP Highlights Interstate Telehealth Licensing Compact Expansion Across Key States
What is the CCHP Interstate Telehealth Compact in 2026? The interstate compact allows credentialed mental health providers to treat patients across multiple states under a unified framework, removing geographical barriers to care continuity.
The Center for Connected Health Policy (CCHP), the leading authority on U.S. telehealth law monitoring, released its Spring 2026 report highlighting major advances in professional license mobility.
The report confirms over 35 states now participate in the APRN Nursing Compact and Psychiatric Compacts, allowing remote care to flow smoothly when patients travel or relocate.
Historically, if a Florida-based patient traveled to Washington for work or studies, their provider could not hold a follow-up visit without separate state licensure.
The compact model eliminates administrative friction, ensuring therapeutic continuity and medication management remain unbroken.
At Oasis Mental Care, we celebrate these interstate agreements. They ensure our patient community maintains ongoing care with Isabel Zapata, PMHNP-BC, backed by full legal compliance.
The CCHP will continue collaborating with state legislatures to achieve nationwide licensure parity by 2028.
This flexibility reinforces telepsychiatry as a modern, resilient public health solution.
