This blog discusses your patient privacy regulations (42 CFR part 2), offers comment templates, and instructions on how to comment on the most recent Substance Abuse and Mental Health Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Notices of Proposed Rule Making (NPRMs). There are 2 proposed rules to comment on 1) Law Enforcement access to records and 2) Broader healthcare system access to records. Both of these proposals seek to WEAKEN the privacy protections of substance use disorder (SUD) patient records that have protected society for 40 years.
