Updated MSMS HIPAA Guide Available
In order to comply with Privacy Rule requirements addressing substance use disorder treatment records covered under 42 CFR Part 2, medical practices and other Covered Entities must update their HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) by February 16, 2026. This update is necessary to address limitations on the use and disclosure of substance use disorder treatment records covered under Part 2. In order to assist members, MSMS has updated its HIPAA Guide (link will require MSMS sign-in) and sample NPP to reflect current requirements.
