FAQ

Telehealth Practice Setup questions

Does IMLC give me a separate license per state?

Yes. IMLC issues a Letter of Qualification, then each state's medical board issues a state-specific license. You hold individual licenses — IMLC just makes them fast.

Can I prescribe controlled substances across state lines?

Generally yes if you have a DEA registration with a practice address in that state. The Ryan Haight Act has limited telehealth exceptions for buprenorphine and certain other Schedule II–V drugs.

How long to license in 10 states?

Usually 90–150 days if 7+ are IMLC/PSYPACT. Non-compact states (CA, NY, NJ) add 60–120 days each.
