HIPAA Policy

We must sometimes ask our clients to share information/data protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the HITECH Act amendments of 2013 (HIPAA). Some of this information may be covered by HIPAA. To address this, we may add a business associate agreement (BAA) to each of our policies or may enter into a separate BAA with our clients that confirms we will keep the protected information confidential as required by HIPAA. The BAA simply means that persons sharing protected information in the course of authorized business will do so in compliance with the requirements of HIPAA.
