Business Associate: Definition
A Business Associate (BA) is a person or entity, other than a member of the workforce of a CE, who performs functions or actives on behalf of, or provides certain services to, a CE that involve access by the BA to PHI.
A Subcontractor of a BA that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI on behalf of another BA is now considered to be a BA and must comply with all HIPAA rules.
BAs must now have a contact in place with their subcontractors and that contract must be a stringent as the one between BAs and CEs.
Course Content Example 2:
HHS Enforcement and Penalties for Breach
HHS Penalty Structure
- Changes in the HIPAA Final Rule, January 23, 2013, strengthen the HITECH Breach Notification requirements by clarifying when breaches of unsecured PHI must be reported to HHS.
