About HealthInfoNet
Blue Sky Counseling participates in HealthInfoNet, the statewide health information exchange (HIE) designated by the State of Maine. HealthInfoNet is a secure electronic system that allows authorized health care providers to share limited health information to support safe, coordinated care. Blue Sky Counseling provides behavioral health, substance use disorder treatment, and medication management services, including medications for substance use disorders and certain mental health conditions.
Our providers are not primary care providers, but participation in the HIE allows us to view and share relevant health information with other treating providers, such as primary care offices, hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories, and specialists, when appropriate for treatment or care coordination. Information that may be shared through the HIE can include medications, allergies, diagnoses, laboratory results, and visit information necessary to support clinical decision-making and continuity of care. Demographic information such as your name and date of birth may also be included to ensure records are accurately matched.
Participation in HealthInfoNet is not required to receive services at Blue Sky Counseling. You have the right to choose whether your information is included or shared through the HIE. For more information about HealthInfoNet, your privacy rights, or how to opt out, please visit www.hinfonet.org or call 1-866-592-4352.
All information shared through the HIE is protected in accordance with applicable federal and Maine privacy laws, including HIPAA and, when applicable, 42 CFR Part 2.
