The landscape of 21st-century medicine is shifting more rapidly than ever. This is certainly the case for digital health. While technology enables health care practitioners to practice across state boundaries, licensing structures have not evolved fast enough to keep up. Individual U.S. states or territories issue these licenses, and the process must be completed for each state where a provider intends to practice. Navigating this landscape is complex and expensive.

This guide will help digital health companies navigate the complexities of medical licensing to ensure compliance across state lines.
