Good-faith examination in Arizona

Arizona has no statute that names a “good-faith exam”; the requirement derives from the standard of care and prescribing law.

  • Because Botox and fillers are prescription drugs/devices, they require a valid order from an authorized prescriber acting within the standard of care; failing to meet the standard of care is unprofessional conduct.

    A.R.S. §32-1401(27) · verified Jul 26, 2026

  • Arizona’s telehealth statute allows the provider-patient relationship to be established and prescribing to occur via telehealth with documented informed consent; a board may not require a prior in-person exam except for Schedule II drugs (which Botox and fillers are not).

    A.R.S. §36-3602 · verified Jul 26, 2026
