Drug abuse patient records are also protected under the Health Insurance Portability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), 45 C.F.R., parts 160 and 164. The HIPAA Privacy rule provides individuals the right to request confidential communications or that a communication of PHI is made by alternative means, such as sending correspondence to the individual’s office instead of the individual’s home.
