DO NOT VIOLATE OUR PATIENTS CONFIDENTIALITY

Those who have sought treatment for Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) have their confidentiality protected by 42 CFR, Part 2. In some cases these regulations are more stringent than HIPAA.

Confidentiality in this field is protected in two ways:
1. All information identifying a person as having a Substance Use Disorder is confidential and may not be released without consent from the patient.
2. All Protected Health Information (PHI), including demographic data that is created by Serenity Lane and relates to the patient’s medical or mental health, the services provided, and payment provided falls under the protection of HIPAA and may not be released without consent by the patient.

Federal regulations (42 CRF Part 2) prohibits anyone from disclosing the identity of our patients without their written permission. Violations of confidentiality may be punishable under the law. If you see anyone you know or meet someone on these premises, you are required by law not to disclose the information to anyone. This regulation applies to everyone, no exceptions.
