Arizona: Get reimbursed for ASQ-3 screening - Ages and Stages
ASQ-3 Training for Pediatricians
ASQ®-3 is the most trusted developmental screening tool nationwide, and an approved tool in Arizona. Now Arizona pediatricians and providers can meet the Medicaid reimbursement training requirement for ASQ-3 screening with a NEW ASQ-3 training course.
A recent study shows that ASQ-3 is the developmental screening tool most used by pediatricians—47.5% use ASQ compared with 18.1% who use PEDS. Lipkin et al., 2020
ASQ-3 on-demand training
Available through PedsLMSSM, ASQ-3® Fundamentals for Pediatric Practice is an asynchronous course designed to meet the training needs of Arizona providers and the requirements of the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS).
In just two and a half hours, you’ll get guidance on implementing ASQ-3 as a collaborative team, administering the tool, scoring questionnaires, interpreting results, and discussing next steps with families. Pass a 25-question quiz at the end, and you’ll get a printable certificate that shows you’re ready to use ASQ-3 for screening!

Pediatric practices trust ASQ because it:
- Gives an accurate snapshot of a child’s development, with excellent sensitivity and specificity
- Saves time and supports family engagement with parent-completed questionnaires
- Offers more comprehensive information about a child’s skills—far more than other screeners that ask a few yes/no questions
- Supports diverse families with translations in multiple languages
- Makes scoring and reporting fast and easy with convenient online options
- Helps practices meet AAP recommendations for screening social-emotional development (ASQ:SE-2) and social determinants of health (ESQ)
Integrating ASQ into your pediatric practice
The benefits of ASQ are clear—but how can a busy practice like yours build developmental screening into your workflow? A great place to start is this article of helpful tips for setting up a developmental screening program in a pediatric practice.
Your practice has several options for using ASQ with electronic health records (EHRs):
- Manually recording ASQ results in the child’s record within your EHR system
- Linking ASQ Online to your EHR
- Using ASQ within a pediatric system that integrates with your EHR
- Licensing the right to build ASQ questionnaire content into your patient portal
Learn more about these options for EHR integration here.
ASQ questionnaires have been translated into many languages to help pediatricians meet the needs of diverse families.
- ASQ-3 questionnaires are available in Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
- ASQ:SE-2 questionnaires are available in Arabic, French, and Spanish.

What ASQ Users are Saying
“ We chose ASQ because it is easy to do, low cost, culturally sensitive, and it meets our purpose of basic screening for our children’s development. Our infant teachers base their curriculum on each individual child based on the ASQ.”
