AZ SB1416

Prohibits state entities and health profession regulatory boards from punishing health professionals for informing patients about lawful health care services, including off-label uses of medications with reasonable basis.

Prevents employers and contracted entities from restricting health professionals' ability to educate patients about lawful health care services unless the entity has a sincerely held religious or moral belief.

Clarifies that informing patients about lawful health care services does not require the service to be covered by insurance or mandate that the provider must offer or provide the service.

Defines "off-label use" as any use of FDA-approved prescription drugs, biologics, medical devices, or dietary supplements not specified in the product labeling when the intent is the practice of medicine.

Specifies that professional discipline may still be imposed for unprofessional conduct, but excludes conduct that meets minimum standards of practice as determined by the health profession regulatory board.
