ForwardSeries: 42 CFR Part 2 Compliance
Health centers are expanding their substance use disorder services in response to the opioid epidemic:
- Training current staff;
- Hiring additional personnel;
- Developing teams dedicated to diagnosing and treating patients with substance use disorders; and
- Partnering with other organizations – from hospitals to detox programs and inpatient facilities to law enforcement and research organizations.
To support the development of these substance use disorder services, health centers are receiving substantial grant funding from HRSA, SAMHSA, and state/local governments.
Health centers are at the forefront when it comes to responding to the opioid epidemic; however, many health centers may not realize that decisions about how they provide substance use disorder services may require compliance with the federal substance use disorder confidentiality regulations at 42 CFR Part 2 (“Part 2”).
Part 2 applies to substance use disorder records which are maintained in connection with the performance of a “federally assisted Part 2 program.” Part 2 also applies to entities that are “lawful holders” of substance use disorder records from a federally assisted Part 2 program. Part 2 is more strict than HIPAA and impacts the disclosure of patient information within the health center and with treatment providers, third-party payers, health information exchanges, courts and law enforcement.

Group Attendance: Due to the online nature of webinars, we cannot verify participation by more than one person. For groups, we provide an attendance record form and blank Certificates of Attendance to record attendance at a group viewing session and document each individual's participation. We recommend that a supervisor or colleague sign the certificate to certify attendance.
