This 6-hour seminar will cover the latest SAMHSA and HIPAA updates which
were released in January 2018 and December of 2017 respectively, and
also cover multiple scenarios and FAQ's relating to Substance Abuse
Records, Mental Health Records, Alcohol Abuse Records, and the proper
ways to secure this information and/or release this information.
An
overview of a comparative analysis will be presented comparing SAMHSA
to the HIPAA laws relating to protected health information in general.
This
lesson will be addressing how practice/business managers (or compliance
offers) need to ensure their organization is complying with the Federal
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) regulations
(42 CFR Part 2) and how this differs from the HIPAA (Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act) Privacy and Security Regulations.
Both regulations carry significant civil and even criminal penalties if not complied with.
Both regulations are now being enforced proactively by the Federal government.
Both
regulations if not complied with can lead to catastrophic legal
consequences on state laws of negligence and invasion of privacy if not
complied with.
