Answer to Question 1

False. (The client's medical information is protected by federal confidentiality rules and the recipient of the information may not re-disclose the records to a third party.)

Answer to Question 2

Organizations such as a commercial laboratory, data processing company, collection agency, and other professional services can allow agencies with a signed Business Associate's Agreement access to the substance abuse client's private information.

Answer to Question 3

False. (42 C.F.R. is more restrictive. Disclosure of client information regarding who is seen in a federally assisted substance abuse program is strictly prohibited.)
