Daily Q&A
Q&A: Referral appointments to 42 CFR Part 2 programs
Source: Revenue Cycle Advisor
Q: I work for a behavioral health recovery center, and many of our programs fall under 42 CFR Part 2, as we provide substance use services. Sometimes a referring agency follows up to ask if a client has scheduled an appointment. Can we confirm that a patient has made an appointment? Do referral appointments like this fall under PHI?
