截至2026年2月16日,所涉实体必须更新其《HIPAA隐私做法通知》,以反映加强药物使用障碍治疗记录隐私保护的新的联邦规则。 As of February 16, 2026, covered entities must update their HIPAA Notices of Privacy Practices to reflect new federal rules strengthening privacy protections for substance use disorder (SUD) treatment records. 这些修改、执行《CARES法》、禁止未经书面同意或法院命令在法律诉讼中披露SUD记录、要求具体同意细节以及电子系统中的授权保障。 These changes, implementing the CARES Act, prohibit disclosure of SUD records in legal proceedings without written consent or a court order, require specific consent details, and mandate safeguards in electronic systems. 拥有自保计划的雇主必须确保更新和重新分配,而保险人则负责保险计划的更新。 Employers with self-insured plans must ensure updates are made and redistributed, while insurers handle updates for insured plans. 该规则还加强了对生殖健康信息的保护,并要求修订政策、培训和企业联系协定。 The rule also enhances protections for reproductive health information and requires revisions to policies, training, and business associate agreements.
