Attachment B: Business Associate Agreement Page 1
Business Associate Agreement I. Authority:
Pursuant to 45 C.F.R. § 164.502(e), the Indian Health Service (IHS), as a covered entity, is required to enter into an agreement with a “business associate,” as defined by 45 C.F.R. § 160.103, under which the business associate must agree to appropriately safeguard Protected Health Information (PHI) that it will use and disclose when performing functions, activities or services pursuant to its contract with the IHS. By signing CONTRACT NUMBER, CONTRACTOR NAME ,agrees that it is a Business Associate and will comply with the terms below, in addition to other applicable Contract terms and conditions, and applicable law, relating to the safekeeping, use, and disclosure of PHI. This Appendix comprises the Business Associate Agreement (Agreement).
II. Definitions:
The following terms shall have the same meaning as those terms in 45 C.F.R. Part 160 and Part 164, which are the federal regulations implementing the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), as amended: Breach, Designated Record Set, Disclosure, Health Care Operations, Individual, Minimum Necessary, Notice of Privacy Practices, PHI, Required by Law, Secretary, Security Incident, Subcontractor, Unsecured PHI, and Use.
A. Business Associate. “Business Associate” shall generally have the same meaning as the term “business associate” at 45 C.F.R. § 160.103, and in reference to the party to this Agreement shall mean CONTRACTOR NAME.
B. Covered Entity. “Covered Entity” shall generally have the same meaning as the term “covered entity” at 45 C.F.R. § 160.103, and in reference to the party to this Agreement, shall mean the IHS.
C. HIPAA Rules. “HIPAA Rules” shall mean the Privacy, Security, Breach
Notification, and Enforcement Rules at 45 C.F.R. Part 160 and Part 164.
D. Master Patient Index (MPI). The “Master Patient Index” or “MPI” is composed of a unique list of patients and a current list of medical centers where each patient has been seen. This enables the sharing of patient data between operationally and regionally diverse systems. Each record (or index entry) on the MPI contains a small amount of patient data used to identify individual entries.
The mission of the MPI is to uniquely identify a patient and to “link” that patient’s data throughout the IHS facilities using the Integration Control Number (ICN). The MPI is the authoritative source of a patient’s ICN, the enterprise-wide identifier for IHS facilities and the key to accessing a patient’s record. The accuracy of patient information and patient identification directly affects clinical, administrative, billing, and interdepartmental processes.
