ForwardPart II – Patient Consent Requirements
This is part 2 of 3 in the What’s New with Part 2: SAMHSA and OCR Update Confidentiality Requirements for Substance Use Disorder Records webinar series. To register for the series. click here.
Access the on-demand webinar series here.
The 42 CFR Part 2 (“Part 2”) regulations protect the confidentiality of certain substance use disorder records by restricting the circumstances under which Part 2 Programs and lawful holders of Part 2-protected records can disclose patient records.
While HIPAA permits covered entities to use and disclose patient health information for treatment, payment and health operations without the patient’s consent, Part 2 requires a patient to consent in writing to the initial disclosure of their Part 2-protected records for purposes of treatment, payment and health care operations, unless one of a limited number of exception applies. Health centers with a Part 2 Program must ensure they have a patient’s written consent to disclose to other health center providers for treatment purposes, to the patient’s insurance company for payment purposes, to any health information exchange and to a prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP), if such reporting is required under state law.
New under the 2024 Final Rule is the requirement that patients must be permitted to request restrictions on the use or disclosure of their Part 2-protected records for treatment, payment and health care operations, even if the patient has signed a written consent for such disclosures. The 2024 Final Rule also aligns the Part 2 patient notification requirements with the Notice of Privacy Practices requirements under HIPAA.
In this second webinar, our attorneys will:
- Provide an overview of the consent requirements under Part 2;
- Discuss strategies for incorporating the Part 2 consent requirements into your existing HIPAA authorization process; and
- Review the Part 2 patient notice requirements.
