Reproductive Health Information

We are prohibited from using or disclosing reproductive health information for purposes of investigating or imposing liability on a person, provider, or third party for seeking, obtaining, providing, or facilitating lawful reproductive health care.

Reproductive health information includes, but is not limited to, information related to:

• Pregnancy, pregnancy loss, and postpartum care
• Fertility and infertility services
• Contraception
• Abortion or abortion-related services
• Perinatal and maternal mental health care

We will not disclose reproductive health information for law enforcement, judicial, or administrative proceedings when such use or disclosure is prohibited by federal law. When required, we may request a valid attestation confirming that a requested use or disclosure is permitted under HIPAA.

Substance Use Disorder Records (42 CFR Part 2)

Certain records related to the diagnosis, treatment, or referral for treatment of a substance use disorder (SUD) are protected by 42 CFR Part 2, a federal law that provides additional confidentiality protections beyond HIPAA. These records:

• Cannot be disclosed without your specific written consent, except as permitted by law
• Are protected even within healthcare systems
• May not be re-disclosed without authorization

If you receive services that fall under these protections, your records will be handled in strict compliance with 42 CFR Part 2 and applicable HIPAA regulations.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request restrictions on certain uses or disclosures of your health information
• Receive an accounting of disclosures when required by law
• Revoke authorizations as permitted
