Client Consent Template
Mentalyc is HIPAA compliant and does not require or store any personal client information. Mentalyc provides downloadable consent templates that clinicians may use when incorporating Mentalyc into their documentation workflow. Additional details on security and key talking points.
Please choose the template that applies to your practice/session:
Standard Client Consent (HIPAA)
For most clinicians and practices, this template is sufficient. It explains how Mentalyc assists with documentation and outlines patient consent for use of the software. Should a client choose not to give consent for recording, you can still benefit from our platform by using the "dictation" feature of Mentalyc.
42 CFR Part 2 Consent (Substance Use Disorder Programs)
If your practice qualifies as a federally assisted substance use disorder (SUD) treatment program subject to 42 CFR Part 2, you may need a more specific authorization form.This template includes additional elements required under § 2.31 for disclosure of SUD treatment records.If you are unsure whether Part 2 applies to your practice, consult your compliance or legal advisor.
Clarifying Note
