The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) will conduct their second joint discussion on the study, “Confidentiality and Privacy Issues Related to Psychological Testing Data” November 18 in Los Angeles.
The HIPAA Privacy Rule includes special protections relating to the use and disclosure of psychotherapy notes. The discussion will focus on whether these special protections also apply to “test data that is related to direct responses, scores, items, forms, protocols, manuals or other materials that are part of a mental health evaluation.”
