HIPAA-covered entities must have a business associate agreement (BAA) in place with each of their partners to maintain PHI security and overall HIPAA compliance.
HIPAA applies to healthcare providers, health plans and healthcare clearinghouses who transmit data electronically. So basically, every provider, such as your doctor, dentist, pharmacy, hospital, etc. would need to be compliant.
Any person or organization identified under HIPAA as a Business Associate must sign a BAA with you. If you hire a contractor, and it handles PHI that passes through your company first, you need to sign a BAA with that contractor.
Essentially, if an organization is hired to handle, use, distribute, or access protected health information (PHI), they likely qualify as a BA under HIPAA regulation. The quick rule to remember with Business Associates: before you share PHI, you must have a compliant BAA in place.
At its most basic, BAAs must contain these provisions: Determine what PHI the Business Associate will access. Require that the Business Associate will use appropriate safeguards to secure PHI. Provide that the BA will not disclose protected health information save when permitted by the agreement.
6. Do BAAs Need to be Signed Annually? No. If your BAA is evergreen, it will renew automatically and wont require a new signature to remain valid.
What is a Business Associate Agreement? A Business Associate Contract, or Business Associate Agreement, is a written arrangement that specifies each partys responsibilities when it comes to PHI. HIPAA requires Covered Entities to only work with Business Associates who assure complete protection of PHI.
