(A) HIPPA is in addition to requirements of 42 C.F.R. Part 2, and in general, the more stringent protection applies which usually are the 42 CFR Part 2 requirements. A specific guide for DMH A&D programs will be distributed after January, 2003. A present, only Morris Village and a few other DMH A&D programs will need to comply with both HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2.
