Federal regulation 42 CFR Part 2 (known as “Part 2”) protects the confidentiality of substance use disorder treatment records, when the records are created by a Part 2 program. Part 2 is significantly stricter than HIPAA, requiring the patient’s consent to use or disclose the records for any purpose, including treatment and payment. However, recently modifications to bring Part 2 closer in line with HIPAA requirements were finalized.
Part 2 carries civil penalties. Learn how you can protect your patients, yourself and your organization from running afoul of Part 2. In this webinar, you will learn the public policy behind the Part 2 regulation, when the regulation applies and what type of information is covered. We will also discuss recently finalized modifications and their effect on Part 2.
