In this segment, Jennifer Blevin-Smith discusses Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) as mandated by HIPAA legislation. BAAs are written contracts between covered entities (e.g., healthcare providers, hospitals) and their vendors or individuals who handle Protected Health Information (PHI). These agreements outline the responsibilities of each party regarding PHI management. It's crucial to maintain BAAs on file within clinics and ensure they are reviewed and signed by any vendors or contractors before they gain access to PHI. This protocol is essential for compliance and protecting patient information in healthcare settings.

Do you need a BAA for HIPAA?

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.

How do I know if I need to be HIPAA compliant?

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.

Who signs BAA?

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.

Is a BAA required?

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.

What is required in a business associate agreement?

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.

How often do business associate agreements need to be signed?

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 HIPAA BAA agreement?

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.
