EXHIBIT A – BUSINESS ASSOCIATE AGREEMENT
All use of the Services is subject to this Business Associate Agreement (“BAA”), which is entered into by Customer (the “Covered Entity”) and MedChat, LLC (the “Business Associate”).
WHEREAS , Sections 261 through 264 of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191, known as “the Administrative Simplification provisions,” direct the Department of Health and Human Services to develop standards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of health information, and the “Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health” (“HITECH”) Act (Title XIII of Division A and Title IV of Division B of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-5)) modified and amended the Administrative Simplification provisions;
WHEREAS , pursuant to the Administrative Simplification provisions, the Secretary of Health and Human Services issued regulations modifying 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164 (the “HIPAA Rules”), as further amended by the Omnibus Final Rule (78 Fed. Reg. 5566), (hereinafter, the Administrative Simplification provisions, HITECH, such rules, amendments, and modifications, including any that are subsequently adopted, will be collectively referred to as “HIPAA”); and
WHEREAS , the parties wish to enter into or have entered into an arrangement whereby Business Associate will provide certain services and/or products to Covered Entity (the agreement evidencing such arrangement is hereby referred to as the “Terms of Service”), and Business Associate may create, receive, or maintain Protected Health Information of Covered Entity in fulfilling Business Associate’s responsibilities to Covered Entity pursuant to the Terms of Service, and therefore Business Associate may be considered a “business associate” of Covered Entity as defined by HIPAA.
THEREFORE , in consideration of the parties’ continuing obligations under the Terms of Service, compliance with HIPAA, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree to the provisions of this BAA in order to address the requirements of HIPAA and to protect the interests of both parties.
Except as otherwise defined herein, any and all capitalized terms in this BAA shall have the definitions set forth by HIPAA. For purposes of this BAA, the term “Protected Health Information” shall have the same meaning as that term is defined at 45 C.F.R. § 160.103, limited to the information received, maintained, transmitted or created by the Business Associate from or on behalf of the Covered Entity. In the event of an inconsistency between the provisions of this BAA and mandatory provisions of HIPAA, HIPAA shall control. Where provisions of this BAA are different from those mandated by HIPAA, but are nonetheless permitted by HIPAA, the provisions of this BAA shall control.
Business Associate acknowledges and agrees that all Protected Health Information that is created, maintained, transmitted or received by Covered Entity and disclosed or made available in any form, including paper record, oral communication, audio recording, and electronic display by Covered Entity or its operating units to Business Associate, or Protected Health Information which, on behalf of Covered Entity, is created, maintained, transmitted or received by Business Associate or a Subcontractor, shall be subject to this BAA.
(i) it is aware of and will comply with all provisions of HIPAA that are directly applicable to business associates;
(ii) in the event it enters into an agreement with a Subcontractor under which Protected Health Information could or would be disclosed or made available to the Subcontractor, to have in place an appropriate Business Associate Agreement with the Subcontractor before any Protected Health Information is disclosed or made available to the Subcontractor;
(iii) to use or disclose any Protected Health Information solely as would be permitted by HIPAA if such use or disclosure were made by Covered Entity: (1) for meeting its obligations as set forth in the Terms of Service, or any other agreements between the parties evidencing their business relationship or (2) as required by applicable law, rule or regulation, or as otherwise permitted under this BAA, the Terms of Service (if consistent with this BAA and HIPAA), or HIPAA;
(iv) at the request of the Secretary, to comply with any investigations and compliance reviews, permit access to information, provide records and compliance reports, and cooperate with any complaints, pursuant to 45 CFR § 160.310;
(v) at termination of this BAA or the Terms of Service, or upon request of Covered Entity, whichever occurs first, if feasible, Business Associate will return or destroy all Protected Health Information received from Covered Entity or created or received by Business Associate on behalf of Covered Entity that Business Associate still maintains in any form and retain no copies of such information, or if such return or destruction is not feasible, Business Associate will extend the protections of this BAA to the information and limit further uses and disclosures to those purposes that make the return or destruction of the information not feasible;
(vi) to ensure that its Subcontractors to whom it provides Protected Health Information received from Covered Entity or created or received by Business Associate on behalf of Covered Entity, agree to the same (or greater) restrictions and conditions that apply to Business Associate with respect to such information, and agrees to, pursuant to 45 CFR § 164.314, implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Electronic Protected Health Information that it creates, receives, maintains, or transmits on behalf of the Covered Entity and ensure that any Subcontractors to whom it provides such information agree to implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards to protect it;
(vii) Business Associate shall, following the discovery of a breach of unsecured Protected Health Information (as defined in HIPAA) notify Covered Entity of such breach of unsecured Protected Health Information pursuant to the terms of 45 CFR § 164.410 and cooperate in Covered Entity’s breach analysis procedures, including risk assessment, if requested. A breach of unsecured Protected Health Information shall be treated as discovered by Business Associate as of the first day on which such breach is known to Business Associate or, by exercising reasonable diligence, would have been known to Business Associate. Business Associate will provide such notification to Covered Entity without unreasonable delay. Such notification will contain the elements required in 45 CFR § 164.410, to the extent known. Covered Entity shall be solely responsible to determine any required actions with respect to any such breach of unsecured Protected Health Information, and Business Associate shall reasonably cooperate with Covered Entity and comply with such actions; and
(b) Notwithstanding the prohibitions set forth in this BAA, Business Associate may use and disclose Protected Health Information as follows:
(B) Business Associate obtains satisfactory assurances through a written Business Associate Agreement from the Subcontractor to whom the information is disclosed that it will be held confidentially and used or further disclosed only as required by law or for the purpose for which it was disclosed to the Subcontractor, and the Subcontractor notifies Business Associate of any instances of which it is aware in which the confidentiality of the information has been breached;
(ii) for Data Aggregation services, if to be provided by Business Associate for the Health Care Operations of Covered Entity pursuant to the Terms of Service or any other agreements between the parties evidencing their business relationship.
(iii) Business Associate and its Subcontractors may disclose information that is not individually identifiable health information provided that the disclosed information does not include a key or other mechanism that would enable the information to be identified.
(c) Business Associate will implement appropriate safeguards, and comply, where applicable, with Subpart C of 45 CFR 164 with respect to Electronic Protected Health Information, to prevent use or disclosure of Protected Health Information other than as permitted in this BAA.
(d) The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall have the right to audit Business Associate’s records and practices related to the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information to ensure Covered Entity’s and Business Associate’s compliance with the terms of HIPAA.
(e) Business Associate shall report to Covered Entity any use or disclosure of Protected Health Information which is not in compliance with the terms of this BAA of which it becomes aware. Business Associate shall report to Covered Entity any Security Incident of which it becomes aware promptly and in the manner required by Covered Entity to permit compliance with the requirements of HIPAA. The parties agree that this section satisfies any notices necessary by the Business Associate to the Covered Entity of the ongoing existence and occurrence of attempted but Unsuccessful Security Incidents (as defined below) for which no additional notice to the Covered Entity shall be required. For purposes of this BAA, “Unsuccessful Security Incidents” include activity such as pings and other broadcast attacks on the firewall of the Business Associate, port scans, unsuccessful log-on attempts, denials of service and any combination of the above, so long as no such incident results in unauthorized access, use or disclosure of Electronic Protected Health Information.
In addition to any other obligation set forth in the Terms of Service, Covered Entity agrees that it will: (i) not make any disclosure of PHI to Business Associate if such disclosure would violate HIPAA or any applicable federal or state law or regulation; (ii) not request Business Associate to use or make any disclosure of PHI in any manner that would not be permissible under HIPAA or any applicable federal or state law or regulation if such use or disclosure were done by Covered Entity; and (iii) limit any disclosure of PHI to Business Associate to the minimum necessary to accomplish the intended purpose of such disclosure. Further, Covered Entity agrees that it is solely responsible to comply with HIPAA and any other federal or state law or regulation applicable to the operation of its business or the performance of its obligations under the Terms of Service. Additionally, Covered Entity represents that the Covered Entity has not sought any Individual consents or authorizations or agreed to any restrictions requested by Individuals, and will not seek any Individual consents or authorizations or agree to any such restrictions in the future, which consents, authorizations or restrictions would restrict Business Associate’s ability to provide items and services under the Terms of Service or otherwise restrict Business Associate’s ability to use and disclose Protected Health Information as permitted under this BAA. Without limiting the foregoing, Covered Entity shall immediately notify Business Associate in writing of any change in, or the withdrawal of, the consent or authorization of an Individual regarding the use or disclosure of Protected Health Information to the extent that such change or withdrawal may affect Business Associate’s use or disclosure of Protected Health Information.
4. AVAILABILITY OF PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION.
Business Associate agrees to make available Protected Health Information to the extent and in the manner required by 45 CFR § 164.524. If Business Associate maintains Protected Health Information electronically, it agrees to make such Protected Health Information electronically available to the applicable individual. Business Associate agrees to make Protected Health Information available for amendment and incorporate any amendments to Protected Health Information as directed by Covered Entity in accordance with the requirements of 45 CFR § 164.526. In addition, Business Associate agrees to make Protected Health Information available for purposes of accounting of disclosures, as required by 45 CFR § 164.528. Business Associate and Covered Entity shall cooperate in providing any accounting required on a timely basis.
If Covered Entity reasonably determines that Business Associate has materially breached this BAA, Covered Entity shall provide Business Associate with written notice of the alleged material breach of this BAA and if such breach is not cured by Business Associate within a reasonable period, not to be less than thirty (30) days, following receipt of notice of breach from the Covered Entity, Covered Entity may immediately terminate this BAA.
Except as expressly stated herein or in HIPAA, the parties to this BAA do not intend to create any rights in any third parties. The obligations of Business Associate under this Section shall survive the expiration, termination, or cancellation of this BAA, the Terms of Service and/or the business relationship of the parties, and shall continue to bind Business Associate, its agents, employees, contractors, successors, and assigns as set forth herein.
None of the provisions of this BAA are intended to create, nor will they be deemed to create any relationship between the parties other than that of independent parties contracting with each other solely for the purposes of effecting the provisions of this BAA and any other agreements between the parties evidencing their business relationship. This BAA will be governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina. No change, waiver or discharge of any liability or obligation hereunder on any one or more occasions shall be deemed a waiver of performance of any continuing or other obligation, or shall prohibit enforcement of any obligation, on any other occasion.
Any provision of the Terms of Service that contradicts one or more terms of this BAA shall be superseded by the terms of this BAA to the extent and only to the extent of the contradiction. The terms of this BAA, to the extent they are unclear, shall be construed to allow for compliance by Business Associate and Covered Entity with HIPAA and HITECH.
In the event that any provision of this BAA is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the provisions of this BAA will remain in full force and effect. In addition, in the event a party believes in good faith that any provision of this BAA fails to comply with the then-current requirements of HIPAA, such party shall notify the other party in writing. For a period of up to thirty (30) days, the parties shall address such concern and negotiate in good faith to amend the terms of this BAA, if necessary to bring it into compliance. If, after such thirty-day period, the parties fail to negotiate an amendment intended to comply with HIPAA, then either party has the right to terminate upon written notice to the other party.
