Kentucky PSYPACT FAQ
Is Kentucky part of PSYPACT?
Yes. Kentucky is one of the 42 PSYPACT jurisdictions modeled in this ruleset, so an eligible psychologist can add telepsychology authorization into Kentucky rather than buying a separate state license.
How much does the PSYPACT route cost for Kentucky?
The modeled PSYPACT authorization is $440 upfront and $140 to renew. ASPPB E.Passport and APIT fees are set by ASPPB and PSYPACT; confirm the current fee page before paying.
How long does PSYPACT authorization take for Kentucky?
Often days to a few weeks after ASPPB credentialing and PSYPACT authorization review.
Does PSYPACT membership alone let me see patients in Kentucky?
No. PSYPACT membership is not permission to practice. You still need APIT/E.Passport authorization, and Kentucky's scope, telehealth, records, emergency, and advertising rules still apply.
