Special Protections for Reproductive Health Information
Federal law provides additional protections for reproductive health information, including information related to pregnancy, contraception, fertility treatment, miscarriage care, and abortion. We are prohibited from using or disclosing reproductive health information to investigate or impose liability on any person for seeking, obtaining, providing, or facilitating lawful reproductive health care. Before disclosing reproductive health information for certain legal or law enforcement requests, we must obtain a written attestation confirming the request is not for a prohibited purpose.
Special Protections for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Treatment Records
If we handle records related to substance use disorder treatment, federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides stricter confidentiality protections. With your written consent, we may use/disclose SUD records for treatment, payment, and operations. Without consent, disclosure is limited to emergencies, court orders meeting strict legal requirements, and certain legally required reports. You may consent, refuse, or revoke consent for SUD record disclosure. SUD records cannot be redisclosed by recipients without your additional consent or specific legal permission, and cannot be used against you in legal proceedings without your consent or a qualifying court order.
