Federal Privacy Protections for Patients Receiving SUD Treatment Services in Integrated Settings

How to use this information:

As a State Agency Leader, your behavioral health provider network looks to you for simple, actionable tools to interpret and apply privacy regulations on the job


The CoE-PHI website houses resources to help you play this role and will be featuring key resources that you can share with your colleagues and provider networks over the next six months.

This month's featured resource:

Who is this for?

People working in integrated care settings, including community mental health centers (CMHS) and certified community behavioral health centers (CCBHC) that provide substance use services.

What is this about?

Assists in determining whether and how Part 2 applies to sharing of patient information about receipt of substance use treatment services, for purposes of care coordination, with their colleagues working at the same health center.

Key Points:

  • Part 2 may apply to individual provider(s) or unit(s) within the CMHC or CCBHC, but not the entire entity.

  • Part 2 only applies to information that identifies someone as seeking or receiving services from a Part 2 program within the CMHC or CCBHC.

  • In order for the Part 2 program to share information with other providers in the CMHC or CCBHC, written patient consent is generally required.
