Business Associate Agreement

Post by packets » Wed Jul 06, 2011 9:48 am

Any Covered Entity's looking to update your policy(s) to include the need to have your consultant(s), contractor(s), and vendor(s) sign a Business Associate Agreement?
I found this "Sample Business Associate Agreement made available by the HIPAA Survival Guide" which might be a point to begin. Just a thought...

Do we need to have a Business Associate Agreement from OpenDental, particularly if we are using the mobile app and our patient appts & basic info is being uploaded to an OD server?

Probably, yes. You can print off ours and you sign it, and then you're good to go. You can fax us a copy for our records to 503-485-5202

We are rewriting the mobile app so that we will not need any of your synched data. We don't like having your data.
