Fallbrook Family Health Center Resolution Agreement and Corrective Action Plan








  
  
    

  
      





**I.  Recitals**

**Parties**.  The Parties to this Resolution Agreement ("Agreement") are:

	The United States Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") Office for Civil Rights ("OCR"), which enforces the Federal standards that govern the privacy of individually identifiable health information (45 Code of Federal Regulations ("C.F.R.") Part 160 and Subparts A and E of Part 164, the Privacy Rule), the Federal standards that govern the security of electronic individually identifiable health information (45 C.F.R. Part 160 and Subparts A and C of Part 164, the Security Rule), and the Federal standards for notification in the case of breach of unsecured protected health information (45 C.F.R. Part 160 and Subparts A and D of 45 C.F.R. Part 164, the Breach Notification Rule).  HHS has the authority to conduct compliance reviews and investigations of complaints alleging violations of the Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules ("the HIPAA Rules") by covered entities and covered entities must cooperate with HHS compliance reviews and investigations. *See* 45 C.F.R. §§ 160.306(c), 160.308, and 160.310(b).
		Fallbrook Family Health Center ("FFHC"), meets the definition of "covered entity" under 45 C.F.R. § 160.103 and therefore is required to comply with the HIPAA Rules. HHS and FFHC shall together be referred to herein as the "Parties."
	**Factual Background and Covered Conduct.** Complainant alleged that FFHC failed to provide her with timely access to her protected health information ("PHI").
	HHS's investigation found that FFHC did not provide Complainant a complete copy of her designated record set even though she requested it in writing three separate times. FFHC claims that it failed to provide access due to a former workforce member's misunderstanding of an individual's access rights under HIPAA. As a result of OCR's investigation, FFHC sent Complainant a copy of her complete designated record set on June 19, 2020.HHS's investigation indicated the following conduct occurred ("Covered Conduct"):

FFHC failed to provide access to PHI to Complainant in a timely manner. *See* 45 C.F.R. § 164.524(b).**No Admission**.  This Agreement is not an admission of liability by FFHC.
	**No Concession**.  This Agreement is not a concession by HHS that FFHC is not in violation of the HIPAA Rules and not liable for civil money penalties.
	**Intention of Parties to Effect Resolution**.

	**Corrective Action Plan**.  FFHC has entered into and agrees to comply with the Corrective Action Plan ("CAP"), attached as Appendix A, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. If FFHC breaches the CAP, and fails to cure the breach as set forth in the CAP, then FFHC will be in breach of this Agreement and HHS will not be subject to the Release set forth in paragraph II.8 of this Agreement.
	**Release by HHS**.  In consideration of and conditioned upon FFHC's performance of its obligations under this Agreement, HHS releases FFHC from any actions it may have against FFHC under the HIPAA Rules arising out of or related to the Covered Conduct identified in paragraph I.2 of this Agreement.

	**Execution of Agreement and Effective Date**.  The Agreement shall become effective (***i.e.***, final and binding) upon the date of signing of this Agreement and the CAP by the last signatory ("Effective Date").
	**Tolling of Statute of Limitations**. Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7a(c)(1), a civil money penalty ("CMP") must be imposed within six years from the date of the occurrence of the violation.
