HIPAA Business Associate Compliance and Dangers

Simple steps, often overlooked but easy to follow, enable CEs and BAs to protect against costs and damage to their reputations caused by violations of HIPAA Rules that apply to BAs. The chain of HIPAA compliance starts with a CE. It extends to a BA that provides a CE with services involving PHI. And the chain of compliance continues on down to any subcontractors of a BA that perform services involving PHI. BA subcontractors are defined by HIPAA as BAs and are fully liable for compliance.
