ENSURE HIPAA COMPLIANCE AMONG
BUSINESS ASSOCIATES
By Ashok Bagdy
INTRODUCTION
 Throughout his career as a healthcare executive, Ashok Bagdy has
been an industry leader in the United States and India. As the current
vice president of outsourcing services with Cameo Corporate Services in
Tampa, Florida, Ashok Bagdy frequently communicates with Business
Associates (BA) under the guidelines set forth by HIPAA.
Under HIPAA, security breaches by Business Associates can cause
major headaches for the Covered Entity (CE). To help your BAs avoid
security breaches, make sure they perform regular risk assessments to
determine weak points in their policies and procedures. If a breach does
occur, there should be specific language in the BA contract requiring the
BA to report it within five days. Many CEs also choose to include
language requiring BAs to cover the notification costs, which can be
relatively steep depending on how many individuals were involved. BAs
must also enact a specific breach notification policy and put it in writing.
