Mental Health Records Sample Clauses

The Mental Health Records clause governs the handling, access, and protection of records related to an individual's mental health. Typically, it outlines who may view or share these records, under what circumstances disclosure is permitted, and the security measures required to safeguard sensitive information. For example, it may restrict access to authorized healthcare providers or require explicit patient consent before sharing records with third parties. The core function of this clause is to ensure the confidentiality and privacy of mental health information, addressing legal and ethical concerns while protecting individuals from unauthorized disclosure.
Mental Health Records a. The County must have policies and procedures for participating provider medical records content and documentation that have been communicated to providers and a process for evaluating its providers’ mental health records based on the County’s policies. These policies must address patient confidentiality, organization and completeness, tracking, and important aspects of documentation such as accuracy, legibility, and safeguards against loss, destruction, or unauthorized use.

Adm. Code, HFS 104.01(3), the Department will require BadgerCare Plus-certified providers to release relevant records to the County to assist in compliance with this section. Where counties have not specifically addressed photocopying expenses in their provider contracts or other arrangements, the counties are liable for charges for copying records only to the extent that the Department would reimburse on a fee-for-service basis. d. The County must have written confidentiality policies and procedures in regard to confidential patient information. Policies and procedures must be communicated to County staff, members, and providers. The transfer of mental health records to out-of-plan providers or other agencies not affiliated with the County (except for the Department) are contingent upon the receipt by the County of written authorization to release such records signed by the member or, in the case of a minor, by the member’s parent, guardian, or authorized repre...
