Behavioral Health HIPAA Compliance
Behavioral health practices face a unique compliance landscape. In addition to HIPAA, many providers must navigate 42 CFR Part 2 (federal substance use disorder confidentiality rules), telehealth platform compliance, and the documentation requirements specific to mental health and SUD treatment.
Common gaps in behavioral health practices: telehealth platforms without proper BAAs; patient records commingled in ways that create 42 CFR Part 2 disclosure risks; online scheduling and intake forms transmitting PHI to third-party analytics tools; workforce training that covers HIPAA but not the stricter requirements of Part 2.
Stag Compliance builds compliance programs tailored to behavioral health providers — addressing both HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 where applicable, with practical guidance for the workflows your practice actually uses.
