SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR PATIENT PRIVACY
|
In addition to HIPAA, the strict confidentiality of records of persons receiving alcohol and drug prevention and treatment services is protected by Federal law, implemented through Federal regulations 42 C.F.R. (Code of Federal Regulations), Part 2. Noteworthy provisions: - Prohibits disclosures except with client consent (or 9 other specific conditions). - Prohibits re-disclosure except with explicit signed consent/authorization. This differs from HIPAA. - Allows limited disclosure for payment, evaluation, and other purposes with Business Associate Agreements. |

Reception desk, the usual first receiver of visitors and telephone inquiries, is also provided with a copy of consent forms as applicable. |
|
FAMILY INVOLVEMENT · Where is patient's objection to family involvement documented?
