Frequently asked questions

What is the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC)?

The IMLC is an agreement among participating states that expedites licensure for qualified physicians practicing in multiple states. If you're eligible, you can obtain licenses in multiple compact states more quickly and efficiently.

Do I need a license in every state where I provide telemedicine?

Generally, yes. You must be licensed in the state where the patient is located at the time of the telemedicine encounter. Some exceptions exist during emergencies, but the general rule is you need licensure in the patient's state.

How many state licenses can I realistically maintain?

This depends on your specialty, practice needs, and administrative capacity. Each state requires separate renewal, fees, and CME requirements. Most multi-state physicians maintain 3-8 licenses, though some telemedicine practitioners have many more.

What are the costs of maintaining multiple licenses?

Costs vary significantly by state, typically $300-$800 per license annually. Factor in renewal fees, compact fees, and administrative time when deciding how many licenses to maintain.

Do I need separate malpractice insurance for each state?

Check with your malpractice carrier. Many policies cover practice in multiple states, but you must ensure your coverage extends to all states where you practice. Some carriers charge additional premiums for multi-state coverage.

How do I track renewal requirements across multiple states?

Create a calendar system to track renewal dates, CME requirements, and fees for each state. Consider using credentialing software or services that help manage multi-state licenses.
