You’ve updated your forms.
You’ve added the redisclosure notice.
You’ve even started a tracking log.
But here’s what most SUD programs miss:
Redisclosure compliance doesn’t live in your policy binder.
It lives in the real-world chaos of intake, referrals, and documentation workflows.
This week, we’re getting specific—because tracking redisclosure isn’t just a legal requirement. It’s the test of whether your process actually works.
And as we approach 2026, your ability to log, prove, and audit redisclosures is what separates proactive programs from those headed for penalties.
Why Redisclosure Tracking Fails in Practice
- The referral goes out before consent is confirmed.
One phone call or fax, and now you’ve shared SUD-related data before logging consent—or before it was even recorded.
Fix: Build in a “stop and check” step before any external referral or handoff.
- Front desk staff aren’t applying the redisclosure notice.
They’re used to HIPAA. But the Part 2 requirement is different—and often skipped by accident.
Fix: Create a redisclosure template and attach it to every outbound document, email, or fax.
- The log is created—but no one’s checking it.
A log no one audits is a compliance risk waiting to be discovered—by an insurer, a partner, or a patient.
Fix: Assign a fallback owner for monthly redisclosure log review. Track metrics like volume, date, and recipient type.
What to Audit This Month (Before It’s an Issue)
- Review 5 recent patient transfers: Were redisclosure notices applied?
- Check the audit trail for outbound records: Were they logged?
- Spot-check your log against your EHR: Are the records consistent?
You don’t need a 3-week audit.
You need 3 hours a month—and a clear escalation path when something’s off.

Closing Thoughts:
You don’t need to overhaul everything to meet Part 2 redisclosure rules.
You just need a process you can trust—one that works on paper and under pressure.
Because in 2026, the question won’t be “Did you mean to comply?”
It’ll be: “Can you prove it?”
Let’s make sure the answer is yes.
