CIPP/US 42 CFR Part 2 confidentiality guide
42 CFR Part 2 contains confidentiality rules for substance use disorder patient records. It requires a separate scope analysis from the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
Practical example
For a treatment program disclosure, identify the program, record, recipient, consent and exception facts before deciding whether Part 2 applies.
Common mistake
Assuming HIPAA analysis alone resolves a substance use disorder record question without testing Part 2 coverage.
The current Part 2 regulations are published in 42 CFR Part 2. The precise disclosure rule depends on the program, record, recipient and applicable exception.
For CIPP/US study, use the record and program facts to separate Part 2 from HIPAA before comparing the disclosure rule.
