New Fact Sheets About 42 CFR Part 2: Confidentiality of Substance Use Disorder Records

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, in collaboration with SAMHSA, has released two new fact sheets about the federal statute, 42 CFR Part 2 Confidentiality of Substance Use Disorder Patient Records (Part 2).

The new titles include: Disclosure of Substance Use Disorder Patient Records: Does Part 2 Apply to Me? provides an overview of the Part 2 program and explains how healthcare providers can determine if Part 2 applies to them. Disclosure of Substance Use Disorder Patient Records: How Do I Exchange Part 2 Data? outlines how Part 2 applies to the electronic exchange of healthcare records within the program.
