ASLP-IC: New Jersey 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: New Jersey requires a telemedicine or telehealth organization to register with the Department of Health prior to providing services in New Jersey. Telepractice may not be used as a service delivery model in schools [PDF].

Providers must adhere to the same requirements as in-person practice and adhere to the following restrictions:

1. Prior to providing services through telepractice to a client, determine whether providing those services would be consistent with the standard of care applicable for those services when provided in-person. If services cannot be delivered with the same standard of care applicable to in-person delivery, then the provider must cease telepractice and refer the client to in-person services.
2. Prior to initiating services, establish a provider-patient relationship by using proper identification to identify the patient and provider. Provider must disclose credentials and certifications.
3. Prior to an initial contact with a patient, the provider shall review the patient's history and any available records.
4. Prior to initiating contact with a patient, provide the patient the opportunity to sign a consent form that authorizes the provider to release records of the encounter to the patient's primary care provider or other health care provider identified by the patient.
5. Adhere to other restrictions detailed in J.A.C. 13:44C-11 [PDF].

Temporary Practice for Out-of-State Providers: No provisions.
