42 CFR Part 2 Compliance Checker

42 CFR Part 2 provides federal protections for patients receiving treatment for substance use disorders (SUD). These regulations restrict the disclosure and re-disclosure of SUD treatment records and require specific patient consent procedures that go beyond HIPAA's general provisions. This tool assesses your organization's adherence to consent management, qualified service organization agreements (QSOAs), re-disclosure prohibitions, audit controls, and court-order handling.
