Description

This course is being presented by a coalition of state psychological associations, and has been organized by the Utah and Nevada Psychological Associations.

Have you addressed all the telehealth compliance requirements beyond PSYPACT that can differ from state to state?

Many psychologists underestimate the complex web of state regulations beyond PSYPACT authority, often assuming that licensure alone ensures compliance. In reality, up to 20 additional state-specific regulations exist, each with nuanced requirements that could impact the legality of your services. Navigating these complexities has been challenging, with little practical guidance on identifying, tracking, and complying with nuanced differences across jurisdictions.

Join this Master Class led by Dr. Marlene Maheu, the pioneer in telebehavioral health compliance. Gain the expertise to stay competent and confident as you expand your practice. Dr. Maheu will guide you through essential terminology, and then engage you in a thought-provoking discussion, equipping you with the resources to grow your telehealth services safely across state lines or international borders.

Plus, take advantage of these valuable bonuses:

  • Managing Emergencies: Learn how to manage emergencies across jurisdictions with real-life case examples tailored to US and international practice.

  • Interactive Audience Participation: Engage directly with Dr. Maheu and peers to address your most pressing interjurisdictional concerns in an interactive, collaborative learning telehealth experience.

  • Documentation: Get actionable suggestions for documenting telehealth services, including key clauses for your informed consent process to manage telehealth-specific risks.

  • Telesupervision: Discover essential skills and documentation practices to provide telesupervision effectively across state lines.

  • No-Cost Resources: Access over a dozen no-cost, digital telebehavioral health resources available 24/7 to maintain compliance now and in the future.

  • Informed Guidance: Leverage Dr. Maheu's 30 years of telebehavioral health experience, with her exclusive insights from working with more than 89,000 telehealth professionals.

  • Compliance Tracking Spreadsheet: Benefit from the convenience of a downloadable state and international compliance tracking spreadsheet, complete with column headings and rows corresponding to regulations identified and described in this Master Class. 

  • Modeling: Observe Dr. Maheu's practical approaches and screen presence in real time to minimize screen fatigue and strengthen the therapeutic bond.

This Master Class goes beyond PSYPACT basics—delving into the complexities of interjurisdictional practice to address real-world regulatory and ethical challenges. Bring your most pressing compliance questions and leave with the skills and clarity to expand your practice across state lines and international borders. Join us to fuel your passion for serving clients wherever they are while enjoying peace of mind from effectively managing legal and ethical risks.
