How often does a collaborative agreement need to be reviewed in Connecticut?

In Connecticut, collaborative agreements do not have a mandated review frequency. The law is silent on how often a collaborative agreement must be reviewed or amended; the statute outlines required contents for the first three years of practice but sets no review cadence¹.

During the initial three years after licensure, APRNs must practice under a written collaborative agreement with a Connecticut-licensed physician. That agreement must address consultation and referral, coverage in the APRN’s absence, methods to review patient outcomes and therapeutics, disclosure of the relationship to patients, and the level of Schedule II and III controlled substances the APRN may prescribe¹.

APRNs who transition to independent practice must maintain documentation of their completion of the collaborative practice requirement for at least three years and provide it to the Department of Public Health within 45 days upon request². APRNs must also provide a copy of the collaborative agreement to the Department of Public Health when asked, though the Department does not collect agreements routinely³.
