A “Part 2 provider or program” provides substance use disorder (SUD) services to people who need them. The term “Part 2” comes from the regulation called 42 C.F.R. Part 2 – Confidentiality of Substance Use Disorder Patient Records. There are two important things to know about Part 2 providers or programs. First, they must receive what is known as “federal assistance.” Federal assistance is money that comes from the federal government to help pay for Part 2 services or programs, which includes participation in Medi-Cal. Second, they must be able to help people get care if they have a substance use disorder. This usually means that the Part 2 provider or program advertises that they provide SUD services. Some providers and programs give SUD services, but are not a “Part 2 provider or program” This may be because they do not receive federal assistance.

This includes things like names, medical records, and other private details. Additionally, Penal Code 4011.11(h)(4)(B) says that the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), counties, sheriffs, and probation officers must share the information needed to help clients sign up for Medi-Cal before they leave jail.
A CIN, or medical record number, is the first nine characters of the identification number on a member’s Benefits Identification Card and is protected health information (PHI). Health plans, counties, and doctors often include this number when they share information to make sure it goes to the right person. Like other PHI, this number can be shared without asking for consent if it’s being used to help with treatment, payment, or coordinating care.
