Which licensure status is required for a practitioner under a Collaborative Practice agreement?

• A. License in good standing in MT
• B. Temporary license in MT
• C. License in good standing in another state
• D. No license required

Answer: (A)

Collaborative Practice agreements operate only for practitioners who are legally authorized to practice in the state. In Montana, that means holding an active license that is in good standing. This ensures the practitioner has current authority to participate in the collaborative activities and to prescribe within the scope defined by the agreement. A temporary license doesn’t provide full, ongoing licensure and typically isn’t sufficient for long‑term collaborative prescriptive practice. An out‑of‑state license doesn’t automatically authorize practice in Montana unless the practitioner has MT licensure (or MT licensure by endorsement). No license at all would not meet the legal requirement for a CPA.
