Description

This webinar will review the latest legislation on 42 USC 290dd-2(b), which migrates a portion of the substance use disorder confidentiality regulations into HIPAA. Participants will be presented with both the update and a discussion of the integration of the amended 42 USC 290dd-2. In addition, a review of the most current regulations put out by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration will be presented. A reconciliation between the new statute and the most recent regulations will be discussed.

Learning Objectives
  • Describe the elements of the new 42 USC 290dd-2(b) which alters the older 42 USC 290dd-2(b) as it applies to patient confidentiality.
  • Explain the basic components of 42 CFR part 2, the confidentiality regulations derived from 42 USC 290dd-2.
  • Explain how to balance care coordination for patients with SUDs while also maintaining confidentiality of personally identifiable health care data.
