SAMHSA 42 CFR Part 2 Revised Rule
On July 15, 2020, SAMHSA finalized changes to the Confidentiality of Substance Use Disorder Patient Records regulations, 42 CFR Part 2 (“Part 2”). Part 2 protects the confidentiality of individuals in substance use disorder treatment, and establishes privacy and security requirements for written, electronic, and verbal information. The effective date of the changes to Part 2 will be August 14, 2020. Read the SAMHSA 42 CFR Part 2 Fact Sheet for further details regarding the changes.
Newly Released SAMHSA/OCR Guidelines
In addition to viewing the tools and resources recently created by the CoE-PHI to increase awareness about OCR and SAMHSA COVID-19 guidance (and what providers can do to protect patient privacy while providing SUD and MH telehealth services), we also suggest reviewing SAMHSA’s COVID-19 Guidance and Resources as well as the HHS Office of Civil Rights’ Notification of Enforcement Discretion for Telehealth Remote Communications During the COVID-19 Nationwide Public Health Emergency.
