In developing substance use disorder services in response to the opioid epidemic, many health centers are uncertain whether they must comply with the federal substance use disorder confidentiality regulations at 42 CFR Part 2 (“Part 2”). This uncertainty occurs because whether Part 2 applies depends entirely upon how a health center provides substance use disorder services and whether a health center receives Part 2-protected records.
Health centers must regularly review their model for providing substance use disorder services to determine whether Part 2 applies. Health centers must also determine whether Part 2-protected records can be segregated or segmented to limit the applicability of Part 2 to a patient’s entire record as described in SAMHSA’s 2020 Final Rule.
In this first webinar, FTLF attorneys will:
- Guide health centers through the process of determining whether Part 2 applies to their entire health center or to certain sites, teams, or employees;
- Discuss when health centers are “lawful holders” of Part 2 records and how to segregate or segment the Part 2 records to limit the applicability of Part 2 to other patient records; and
- Dispel the top myths about Part 2 compliance.
Target Audience
- Compliance Officers
- Privacy Officers
- Medical Records
- Substance Use Disorder Providers
- MAT Program Directors and Staff
- Operations
Learning Objectives
After this webinar, you will be able to:
- Determine whether Part 2 applies to your health center’s substance use disorder services
- Identify whether your health center is a “lawful holder” of Part 2 records
- Understand how segregating or segmenting Part 2 records can limit the applicability of Part 2 to your health center’s records
