Part 2's Medical Emergency Exception

A New CoE-PHI eLearning Module

Access the Module

Generally, Part 2 requires a patient's written consent before any Part 2-protected information may be shared, even for treatment purposes. However, there are a few exceptions to this general rule. One is in the case of a medical emergency. If prior consent cannot be obtained, Part 2 permits disclosures to medical personnel in order to treat a bona fide medical emergency.


The CoE-PHI's new eLearning module, Part 2's Medical Emergency Exception, is designed to help professionals who provide or administer SUD-related services identify what constitutes a medical emergency, and describes who may receive records pursuant to the medical emergency exception.

By the end of this module, you'll be able to:

  • Describe what constitutes a medical emergency

  • Identify when the medical emergency exception applies

  • Explain who may receive records pursuant to the medical emergency exception

  • Recognize how to obtain additional resources related to the protected health information through the CoE-PHI
