2. ABOUT THE WEBINAR
• The definition of a HIPAA Business Associate casts a wide net of healthcare business
activities, including any business that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits any PHI
on behalf of a HIPAA-Covered Entity or Business Associate. Even sub-contractors of
Business Associates are also treated as business associates.
• The HIPAA Business Associate Responsibilities have a direct impact on what needs to
be put into the business associate agreements you establish. To satisfy clients’
requirements for adequate assurances of good practices, Business Associates may be
asked to provide a simple contract, third-party reviews, and assessments of HIPAA
compliance.
• The organization of items relevant to Business Associates is a helpful guide. Business
Associate Agreements are now more important because breaches by Business
Associates are becoming more common and carry tremendous expenses for the
affected covered entities.
