Telehealth Updates

ASHA announced that the President signed a bill on 2/3/26 extending government funding of telehealth coverage for non-physicians, including audiologists and speech-language-pathologists through 12/31/27. ASHA will continue to advocate for permanent coverage of telehealth. 

 

Following is a statement from ASHA about the possible government shutdown on January 30th and the impact on telehealth Medicare B payments:

 

 

New England's Interstate Compact Passed 

Maine became the 29th state to pass the Audiology & Speech-Language Pathology Interstate Compact! The ASLP-IC will allow audiologists and SLPs who have a license in a member state to obtain a privilege to practice in other member states. This will benefit audiologists, speech-language pathologists, consumers and states by:

  • improving consumer protection across state lines;
  • increasing access to care for patients, clients, and/or students;
  • facilitating continuity of care when patients, clients, and/or students relocate or travel to another compact member state;
  • promoting cooperation between ASLP-IC member states on interstate licensure and regulation requirements; and
  • ensuring that audiologists and speech-language pathologists have met acceptable standards of practice.

The ASLP-IC is expected to start issuing privileges to practice in 2024 contingent on implementation of a data system to connect the Commission with state licensing boards. In the meantime, the Commission is still meeting and developing rules, bylaws, and policies. Once the compact is operational there will be information on the website on how to apply for a privilege to practice.
