What happened?
The Occupational Therapy Compact Commission announced that Wisconsin began issuing compact privileges, joining Indiana, Ohio, Maryland, Minnesota, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.
A compact privilege can allow an eligible OT or OTA who is licensed and resides in an integrated compact state to practice in another participating integrated state without obtaining a traditional additional license.
Why this matters
- The compact can make interstate practice and some telehealth arrangements more practical.
- Membership in the compact does not automatically mean a state is already issuing privileges; each state must complete system integration.
- Eligibility depends on the practitioner’s home state, license status, and compact requirements.
