The HIPAA Breach Notification Rule requires a business associate that discovers a breach of unsecured PHI in any format (electronic, hard copy or oral) to notify the covered entity of the breach without unreasonable delay and in no case later than 60 days after discovering the breach.

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.
A BAA is a legally binding agreement that a HIPAA covered entity and business associate must enter into to protect PHI. It is mandated by the HIPAA Security Rule. A NDA is also a legally binding agreement however, it is not required by HIPAA and it is not entered into to ensure the protection of PHI.
A written agreement describing the rights, obligations and commercial interests of both parties can enhance cooperative working and ensure sensible safeguards are in place in case of misunderstandings, as well as contribute towards the self-employed status of the associate.
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.
