Arizona Telehealth Law Statutory Agent

Arizona law requires any out-of-state healthcare provider offering telehealth services to Arizona residents to appoint a statutory agent for service of process. This is part of the Interstate Telehealth Provider Registration established by House Bill 2454, signed into law on May 5, 2021.

What Is Considered Telehealth in Arizona?

Arizona defines “telehealth” as the interactive use of audio, video, or other electronic media (including asynchronous tech and remote monitoring) for providing healthcare services such as assessment, diagnosis, consultation, or treatment. This includes audio-only calls if video isn’t reasonably available.

However, telehealth does not include fax, instant messaging, voicemail, or email as valid methods of healthcare delivery.

Arizona Telehealth Provider Requirements

To legally provide telehealth services in Arizona as an out-of-state provider, you must:

• Register with the applicable Arizona health regulatory board
• Provide licensure proof and contact information
• Carry valid professional liability insurance
• Appoint a Statutory Agent in Arizona for service of process
• Register with the Arizona Controlled Substances Monitoring Program (if prescribing)
• Hold an unrestricted, active license in another U.S. state
• Follow Arizona laws and standards of care
• Consent to Arizona jurisdiction for legal or disciplinary matters
• Annually update your registration and submit service stats

Who Is Exempt from Registration?

You may not need to register if you:

• Provide emergency or aftercare services
• Consult with an Arizona-licensed provider
• Provide fewer than 10 telehealth encounters per year
• Treat a resident of another state under an existing care relationship
