ASLP-IC: Arizona is not a member state of the Audiology & Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact (ASLP-IC). Information on the current status of the ASLP-IC can be found on the ASLP-IC website.

Telepractice: Providers must hold a state license or register as an out-of-state telehealth provider and adhere to the same requirements as in-person practice.

Temporary Practice for Out-of-State Providers: Arizona allows a health care provider who is not licensed in Arizona to provide telehealth services to a client located in the state if the provider registers with the Department and pays a fee. Learn more and apply at the Arizona Department of Health Services website.
