As of Sept. 9, 13 states have joined the Physician Assistant Licensure Compact, which will allow licensed PAs in compact member states to practice outside the state they received licensure. 

They are Colorado, Delaware, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin, according to the compact’s website. New Jersey, North Carolina and Michigan are considering membership. 

This month, the PA Compact Commission will meet to begin operationalizing the compact, which can take up to two years after activation.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
