Medical Professional Access Act

This bill would let a licensed, registered, or certified health care professional provide health care services in any U.S. state, the District of Columbia, or a U.S. territory, regardless of that state's licensing laws, when working under a federal government contract or subcontract. The services must be in response to a federally declared emergency and within the duties set out in the contract. Federally declared emergencies include presidential disaster or emergency declarations, public health emergencies declared by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and other national emergencies certified in the Federal Register by the head of an Executive Department.
