42 CFR Part 2

SUD Treatment Record Isolation

42 CFR Part 2 requires substance use disorder records to be stored separately from general medical records. AXIS CloudSync's per-folder access controls let you enforce that separation without complex IT infrastructure.

Consent Enforcement

Consent-Based Disclosure Controls

42 CFR Part 2 prohibits disclosure of SUD records without patient consent โ€” even to other treating providers. Role-based permissions ensure staff can only access records they are explicitly authorized to view.

Secure Referral Sharing

Integrated Care Coordination

Securely share behavioral health records with authorized referral partners, primary care physicians, and care coordinators โ€” with expiring share links that require login and leave a full audit trail.

Full Audit Trail

Audit-Ready Access Logs

Every file access is logged with timestamp, user identity, and IP address. When a SAMHSA audit, OCR investigation, or patient complaint arises, your documentation is already organized and exportable.

Multi-Site Ready

Multi-Site Behavioral Health Networks

Connect multiple treatment locations, outpatient programs, and administrative staff on a single HIPAA-compliant platform. Each site gets its own folder structure with isolated access โ€” no VPN required.

Ransomware Recovery

Ransomware Rollback

Behavioral health organizations are high-value ransomware targets due to the sensitivity of SUD records. AXIS CloudSync's Snapshot point-in-time restore lets you recover every file to a pre-attack state in minutes.

Everything you need for 42 CFR Part 2 and HIPAA compliance

AXIS CloudSync is built for the stricter requirements that behavioral health providers face. Every feature is designed to give you the record isolation, consent enforcement, and audit trail that SAMHSA, OCR, and your patients expect.

Common questions from behavioral health providers

How does 42 CFR Part 2 differ from standard HIPAA for behavioral health providers?

42 CFR Part 2 applies specifically to substance use disorder treatment records and imposes stricter protections than standard HIPAA. Unlike HIPAA, Part 2 generally prohibits disclosure of SUD records to other treating providers without explicit patient consent โ€” even in emergencies. It also restricts use of SUD records in legal proceedings. AXIS CloudSync's per-folder access controls and role-based permissions help you enforce these stricter requirements at the file level.

Can AXIS CloudSync help us keep SUD records separate from general mental health records?

Yes. You create separate folder structures for SUD records and general behavioral health records, with distinct access permissions for each. Staff assigned to SUD programs only see those folders; general clinical staff cannot access them. This separation is enforced at the platform level โ€” not just by policy.

How do we securely share records with referral partners and primary care physicians?

Use AXIS CloudSync's Secure Share feature to generate a time-limited, login-required link for the specific file or folder you are authorized to share. The recipient must authenticate to access the file, and every access is logged. You can revoke the link at any time from your admin panel.

What happens if we experience a ransomware attack?

AXIS CloudSync maintains Snapshot backups of all files at regular intervals. In the event of a ransomware attack, your admin can restore any file or folder to a point-in-time state before the attack โ€” without paying a ransom or losing patient records. Recovery typically takes minutes, not days.

What plan do behavioral health organizations typically need?

The Franchise plan ($18/user/month) is the right starting point for most behavioral health practices and small networks. It includes the BAA, 500 GB pooled storage, and the access controls needed for 42 CFR Part 2 compliance. The Small Business plan ($22/user/month) is the upgrade path for larger multi-site networks needing 1 TB and up to 50 users.
