How telehealth prescribing works in Arizona
Arizona permits licensed providers to establish a patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like GLP-1s through telehealth, including synchronous video and, in appropriate cases, asynchronous review. Under HB 2454, Arizona also recognizes qualifying out-of-state providers who register with the Arizona Medical Board to deliver telehealth to Arizona residents.
Arizona has one of the more telehealth-friendly regulatory frameworks in the country. Under A.R.S. § 36-3602 and HB 2454 (2021), licensed providers may establish the provider-patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications through telehealth, including synchronous video and, in appropriate cases, asynchronous review when the standard of care is met. HB 2454 also created a registration pathway that allows qualifying out-of-state providers to treat Arizona residents while remaining subject to Arizona Medical Board oversight. Every Pallas clinician who treats Arizona patients either holds an active Arizona medical license or is registered to practice telehealth in Arizona under HB 2454. GLP-1s are not controlled substances, so Arizona's separate Controlled Substances Prescription Monitoring Program and controlled-substance telemedicine requirements don't add friction here, but our providers still document a complete history, screen for contraindications like personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, and schedule follow-up visits to monitor response and titrate the dose.

Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) covers GLP-1s like semaglutide for type 2 diabetes with prior authorization. Coverage for weight-management indications is limited. Compounded GLP-1s are not covered.
Pallas is a cash-pay telehealth service. Medicaid and private insurance do not apply to our prescriptions; pricing is flat and disclosed up front.

FAQ
Arizona GLP-1 questions
Can I get semaglutide in Arizona without an in-person visit?+
Yes. Arizona law allows a licensed provider to establish a patient relationship and prescribe non-controlled medications like semaglutide through telehealth — including asynchronous review of your intake — as long as the standard of care is met. You do not need a prior in-person visit.
Does AHCCCS cover GLP-1 weight loss medication?+
AHCCCS covers GLP-1s like semaglutide for type 2 diabetes with prior authorization. Coverage for weight-management indications is limited. Compounded GLP-1s are not covered. Pallas is a cash-pay service, so AHCCCS coverage does not apply to our prescriptions.
Can a provider licensed in another state prescribe to me in Arizona?+
Sometimes. Under Arizona HB 2454, qualifying out-of-state providers may register with the Arizona Medical Board to treat Arizona patients via telehealth. All Pallas clinicians who treat Arizona patients either hold an active Arizona license or are registered to practice telehealth under this pathway.
How fast does Pallas ship in Arizona?+
Most Arizona patients receive their medication within 2–3 business days of the pharmacy filling the prescription. Phoenix, Tucson, Mesa, and Scottsdale typically ship fastest; remote desert, mountain, and reservation ZIP codes may take an extra day.
