Licensed in another state?
Tennessee issues and accepts PT Compact privileges: a physical therapist or PT assistant whose home state is a member can take this job on a compact privilege instead of a Tennessee license, $240 for a PT. (PT Compact Commission, 9 Nov 2026.) For a Tennessee license, apply to the Tennessee Board of Physical Therapy for a license by endorsement ($100, by its own page): what Tennessee asks. Every state's PT Compact status.
