Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 10:32-2.2

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) An authorized person may access the registry through the Internet, http://www.state.nj.us/humanservices/dmhs/wellness_recovery.htm, 24-hours a day, seven days a week, or on the telephone at 1-800-382-6717 during weekday business hours by providing a password by the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services pursuant to (b) or (c) below.

(b)The Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services shall provide a user name and password to any licensed independent practitioner or a person who is certified as a mental health screener pursuant to 10:31-3.3 upon the request of that person and receipt of proof of the license or certification.

1. A person who obtains a user name and password shall keep that user name and password confidential and shall use it to access information only about a person to whom they are a responsible mental health professional as defined in these rules and who has provided a name, social security number, or other unique identifier to the licensed or certified provider for purposes of accessing the advance directive or for purposes of treatment or payment. The purposeful misuse or disclosure of a password, or failure to report the accidental disclosure of a password, shall be cause to revoke that person's privilege to access the database.

(c) The Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services shall provide each registered declarant with a user name and password that shall limit their access to their own registered directive. The consumer may share that user name and password with a mental health care representative. If the representative does not have the password, the Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services will provide that user name and password to a person who presents either satisfactory proof that they are the person named in an advance directive, or a court order naming the person as the guardian of the person who executed an advance directive.
