Overview: This webinar discusses recent amendments to the Confidentiality of Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Patient Records Rule at 42 C.F.R. Part 2 (Part 2) and the implications of the upcoming February 2026 compliance deadline. Speakers will examine changes to consent requirements, ambiguities regarding when HIPAA regulated entities may redisclose SUD records, the role of electronic health records in supporting Part 2 compliance, the potential for increased legal risk due to new breach notification requirements, application of HIPAA penalties, and delegation of enforcement to the HHS Office for Civil Rights.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Identify when a health care provider is subject to Part 2 as a Part 2 provider or as a recipient of Part 2 records and corresponding obligations.
  • Identify benefits and new burdens of recent changes to Part 2.
  • Understand how electronic health record technology can support Part 2 compliance and potential technological challenges.
