Today, ERIC urged Tennessee lawmakers to pass HB 455, allowing the state to join Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT). This issue is important to ERIC as many of our members have employees in Tennessee.
Tennessee’s participation in this compact will allow ERIC member companies to expand their health benefit offerings in the state, ensuring that patients will see the providers they need promptly. It would remove red tape for qualified providers by reducing barriers related to licensing and allowing providers to practice in multiple states, reduce provider shortages, improve market competition, and boost the quality and affordability of health care for patients throughout the state.
