Confidentiality rules overlap
42 CFR Part 2, HIPAA, HITECH and state health-information requirements can create different duties for records, notices, consent and disclosure.
RegWatch for Substance Use Treatment Providers
Monitor substance use treatment regulatory change without adding more manual work.
Monitor the federal, state, licensing, confidentiality, payer, accreditation and controlled-substance sources your organization selects. When something changes, RegWatch helps your team understand what changed, what may be affected and what to review next.

Why RegWatch
Substance use treatment compliance spans more than one rulebook.
Requirements may come from federal privacy and treatment-program rules, state licensing agencies, payer programs, controlled-substance authorities and accreditation bodies. RegWatch brings the selected sources into a consistent monitoring and review process.
Program rules vary by care model
Outpatient, residential, withdrawal-management and opioid treatment programs may need different watchlists for each location and service model.
Medication requirements span agencies
SAMHSA, DEA, state agencies and professional boards may publish changes affecting medication treatment, prescribing, dispensing and telehealth workflows.
Policies and evidence can lag
Patient notices, consent forms, clinical procedures, medication controls and incident-response materials may require review when selected sources change.
Monitoring Coverage
Build a watchlist around your programs, locations and treatment models.
Select the jurisdictions and requirements that matter to your services. Expand coverage as facilities, payer relationships, medications and operating models change.

Selected 42 CFR Part 2, HIPAA, HITECH and state health-information sources involving patient records, notices, consent, disclosure and security.
Opioid treatment program standards

Controlled substances and telehealth

Frequently Asked Questions
Substance use treatment monitoring, without the fragmented tracking.
Start with regulatory monitoring, then add policy assessment workflows when your team is ready.
Request a DemoWhich substance use treatment requirements can RegWatch monitor?
Organizations can select from available federal, state and local sources, including 42 CFR Part 2, HIPAA and HITECH materials, 42 CFR Part 8 and SAMHSA materials for opioid treatment programs, selected DEA sources, CMS and Medicaid materials, licensing authorities, accreditation requirements, workplace safety guidance and cybersecurity sources. Available coverage depends on the selected monitors and sources.
Can we use RegWatch without uploading policies?
Yes. You can use RegWatch for regulatory monitoring and organized change summaries without uploading policies. Policy uploads are optional and support policy assessment workflows when useful.
Can a multi-state provider maintain different watchlists?
Yes. Your watchlist can be organized around the jurisdictions, facilities, program types, medications and payer relationships your organization wants to review. Your team determines which requirements apply.
How does policy gap assessment work?
You can assign uploaded patient-privacy, consent, clinical, medication, safety or operational policies to selected monitors. When those sources change, RegWatch can identify areas that may require review, clarification or remediation.
Does RegWatch determine whether Part 2, Part 8 or another requirement applies?
No. RegWatch provides regulatory intelligence and workflow support. Your organization remains responsible for determining applicability and obtaining legal, clinical or other professional advice where needed.
