NJ TO BEGIN ISSUING PT COMPACT PRIVILEGES JUNE 1

APTANJ is pleased to report that starting on Thursday, June 1 at 9:00 am, any NJ resident with an active NJ license will be able to purchase a compact privilege in any other active compact state. New Jersey becomes the thirtieth state to issue compact privileges.

The Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT) reports, “Physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs) whose home state is Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin will be able to go to www.ptcompact.org to verify their eligibility and purchase compact privileges. Practitioners can purchase compact privileges for one or more of the other remote states, giving them the ability to provide physical therapy services in those states.”
