Licensure Standards

� Support efforts to allow non-physicians to practice at the top of their licenses.

� Allow non-physician licensed practitioners to provide and be paid for certain clinical services, including behavioral health services, by expediting licensure processes, allowing for general rather than direct supervision and removing unnecessary practice restrictions as clinically appropriate.

� Promote medical licensure reciprocity to allow practitioners to work across state lines.

� Remove unnecessary and stigmatizing language around mental health from licensure and credentialing processes.
