Providing SUD Services

October 8, 2020

Because of their role as safety net providers, health centers have been on the front lines of responding to the opioid crisis. We developed this workshop to help health centers and their staff identify and address key and emerging risk areas related to providing services in response to the opioid epidemic.

A health center’s ability to respond effectively is informed in large part by its ability to identify and mitigate the risks associated with identifying and treating patients with substance use disorders. This workshop follows the health center-patient relationship—identifying ways to mitigate the risks associated with providing medication-assisted treatment in the health center, identifying and referring patients for substance use disorder services, and terminating the patient-provider relationship. FTLF attorneys will update attendees on compliance issues related to accepting and managing federal grants for substance use disorder services, including specific Section 330 compliance concerns. This workshop will also address how the federal confidentiality requirements for certain substance use disorder records (42 CFR Part 2) apply to health centers and review the recent changes to the consent, notice, and other disclosure requirements.

Session topics will include:

  • Risk management strategies related to developing substance use disorder services in the health center
  • Starting, managing and terminating the patient-provider relationship
  • Determining whether the health center’s substance use disorder services are covered by Part 2

Target Audience

  • Substance Use Disorder Program Leadership and Staff Members
  • Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Program Leadership and Staff Members
  • Chief Operating Officers
  • Clinical Leadership
  • Compliance Officers
  • Risk Managers
  • Quality Directors/Managers
  • Behavioral Health Leadership and Staff Members

Learning Objectives

After this training, you will be able to:

  • Develop risk management activities that respond to key risk areas associated with providing substance use disorder services
  • Determine whether 42 CFR Part 2 applies to current or planned substance use disorder services in the health center
  • Identify the steps in the patient termination process
