Am I a Business Associate? Do I Want to Be a Business Associate? What Are My Obligations?

Winston & Strawn hosted an eLunch titled "Am I a Business Associate? Do I Want to Be a Business Associate? What Are My Obligations?"on Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at 12:00 – 1:15 p.m. (Central).

The Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") recently released new Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA") regulations that expand both the definition of who is a Business Associate and their obligations. A Business Associate provides services for or on behalf of a healthcare provider, health plan, or healthcare clearinghouse that involve receipt or creation of health information. Subcontractors of a Business Associate are also now Business Associates. An individual or entity can unknowingly become a Business Associate subject to HIPAA requirements by subcontracting with a Business Associate.
