Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is this the same as the General Legal BAA?
No. It is a separate, independently written agreement with its own structure. Either may suit you; compare them with your counsel.
Who must have a BAA?
Under HIPAA, covered entities and their business associates need one with each vendor that handles PHI for them.
Is this legal advice?
No. The author publishes it for general reference, not as advice on your situation. Have a qualified lawyer review it before you sign, especially if you operate outside the United States.
