Sharing SUD Treatment Records With Multiple Providers:

How to Use Multi-Party Consent Forms

A New CoE-PHI Resource

This resource from the Center of Excellence for Protected Health Information provides guidance on when to use a consent form that authorizes disclosures of information about an individual's substance use disorder treatment to multiple parties, in a way that complies with Part 2 and the HIPAA Privacy Rule.

Key Points

Multi-party consent forms work best when a patient wants to authorize different people to receive the same information for the same purpose.
Multi-party consent forms should be avoided when the parties need different information for different purposes.
When using a multi-party consent form, it can be useful to authorize disclosures between all the parties – not just one-way disclosures from a Part 2 program to other parties.
