Louisiana allows telepractice:
Louisiana allows Telehealth Registration instead of licensure, for out-of-state residents, whose out-of-state Audiology or Speech-Language Pathology license does not require supervision, and is an unrestricted and unencumbered license in good standing, and the license is equivalent to the licensure standards in Louisiana. Telehealth registration is limited to telepractice services only in Louisiana.

Audiologists and speech-language pathologists should keep in mind that while a state may have passed telepractice reimbursement laws and/or regulations, this does not guarantee that payers will reimburse for these services.
