Business Associate Agreement (BAA)
HIPAA-compliant BAA executed with every client
What is a BAA?
A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is a written agreement between a covered entity (your clinic) and a business associate (MEDSPA Evolution) that establishes the permitted and required uses and disclosures of protected health information (PHI).
Under HIPAA regulations, any business associate that handles, processes, or has access to PHI must sign a BAA before any patient data can be shared.
Our BAA Includes
- •Permitted and required uses and disclosures of PHI
- •Safeguards to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure
- •Breach notification procedures and timelines
- •Subcontractor compliance requirements
- •Data return and destruction protocols upon termination
- •Audit and inspection rights
When is the BAA Executed?
The BAA is executed before any system implementation begins and before any patient data is accessed or processed. This ensures full HIPAA compliance from day one.
Our BAA is reviewed and updated annually by healthcare compliance attorneys to ensure it meets current regulatory requirements.
