ForwardPart III - Disclosures Without Patient Consent
Access the on-demand webinar here.
The webinars in 42 CFR Part 2 Compliance webinar series and can be purchased individually or as part of the series. To learn more and/or purchase the full series, click here.
The 42 CFR Part 2 (“Part 2”) regulations, promulgated and enforced by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), protect the confidentiality of certain substance use disorder records, providing those records with more stringent protections than HIPAA.
Under Part 2, there are a limited number of exceptions to the patient consent requirement for disclosure, including exceptions for disclosures to auditors, qualified service organizations, law enforcement and courts, and emergency disclosures. When disclosing in these situations, Part 2 Programs must still meet specific compliance requirements. SAMHSA’s 2020 Final Rule updated and clarified when a Part 2 Program or lawful holder can disclose certain records without patient consent.
In this final webinar, FTLF attorneys will provide an overview of:
- Disclosures of Part 2-protected records which are permitted without patient consent
- Compliance requirements related to such disclosures (written agreements, documentation in patient charts, court orders and subpoenas, etc.)
- How to respond when receiving requests for substance use disorder records protected by Part 2
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:
- Recognize when disclosures of Part 2-protected records are permitted without patient consent
- Identify compliance requirements related to such permitted disclosures
- Describe how to respond when receiving requests for substance use disorder records protected by Part 2
