ForwardIndustry Update: What the Changes to 42 CFR Part 2 Mean for Health Centers
Access the on-demand webinar here.
The long-awaited changes to 42 CFR Part 2, the federal regulations governing the confidentiality of certain Substance Use Disorder (SUD) patient records, were announced on February 8, 2024.
Designed to align Part 2 with the HIPAA Privacy, Breach Notification, and Enforcement Rules, the Final Rule substantially modifies Part 2, including changes to:
- Patient consent requirements for the use and disclosure of Part 2-protected records for treatment, payment and health care operations
- Patient consent requirements for SUD counseling notes
- Permitted redisclosure of Part 2-protected records received by HIPAA covered entities and business associates
- Breach notification requirements
- Patient notice requirements
- Penalties for non-compliance
Join Feldesman Leifer for this Industry Update in which the presenters will discuss the key changes in the Final Rule and the key compliance challenges for health centers as they revise and implement new consent forms, new policies and new processes for Part 2-protected records.
