HIPAA Business Associate

HIPAA Business Associates, in general terms, are companies or other organizations who contract with HIPAA “Covered Entities” (Health payers, health providers and clearinghouses) and create, use, transmit or maintain confidential patient information (Protected Health Information or PHI). Beginning in 2013, HIPAA Business Associates are themselves regulated by the HIPAA regulations and are subject to both civil and criminal penalties for violations of the rules.
