18. Who – “Covered Entity”
• (1) A health plan.
• (2) A health care clearinghouse.
• (3) A health care provider who transmits any
health information in electronic form in
connection with a transaction covered by this
subchapter.
• Note: if an electronic transaction is made on a
provider’s behalf… it is considered the provider’s
8/6/13HealthCareToo,LLCProprietary
18
19. Business Associate
What it says What it means
“functions, activities or services on
behalf of covered entities”
“Create, receive, maintain, or transmit
PHI”
An employee of a CE is NOT a BA.
Clarifies definition of BA to include:
• Patient Safety Organizations,
• Health Information Exchanges,
• Personal Health Records
Must have BAA in place
Clarification that BAs are liable whether
or not they have an agreement in place
with the CE .
(Marissa Gordon-Nguyen, JD, MPH Office for Civil Rights)
8/6/13HealthCareToo,LLCProprietary
19
20. Who – “Subcontractors”
What it says What it means
"a person to whom a business associate
delegates a function, activity, or service,
other than in the capacity of a member
of the workforce of such business
associate." (45 CFR 160.103)
"under the final rule, covered entities
must ensure that they obtain
satisfactory assurances required by the
Rules from their BAs, and BAs must do
the same with regard to subcontractors,
and so on, no matter how far 'down the
chain' the information flows."
Subcontractors are BAs:
• Subject to HIPAA provisions
• Directly liable for HIPAA violations
• BA must have BAA with every
subcontractor
• Subcontractor must have BAA with its
subcontractors, who are also BAs
8/6/13HealthCareToo,LLCProprietary
20
21. Agency
• Covered Entities can be held liable for the
violations caused by their Business Associates.
• Business Associates can be held liable for the
violations caused by their sub-contractors.
• Federal common law of Agency will govern
whether an agency relationship exists between
the parties - regardless of what the contract
actually says.

44. Last year we had a $1.5M settlement with BCBS TN
that had 57 hard drives stolen from a storage facility.
The citation that drove the penalty was NOT the
breach. Rather, the penalty was applied because of the
failure to implement appropriate administrative
safeguards, not performing a risk assessment, and
failure to implement access controls for physical
safeguards. They could have turned that storage
facility into Fort Knox, and it might have still been
breached. But the problem was they didn’t implement
any preventive policies or procedures or appropriate
administrative or physical safeguards. This is a great
example of the lack of ongoing attention to
compliance.

HIPAA in a HITECH World: HIPAA Violations on the Rise, According to Director of OCR
Posted on March 22, 2013 by April Sage
Leon Rodriguez, Director Office for Civil Rights
44
45. Another Real Life Example
Breach of less than 500 patients' PHI
• Hospice of North Idaho fined $50,000
• Unencrypted laptop was stolen from an
employee's car.
• OCR found that HONI (1) did not conduct a risk
analysis to safeguard ePHI and (2) did not have
policies/procedures in place to address mobile
device security.

47. Patient Rights over PHI
What it says What it means
In this final rule, we strengthen an
individual’s right to receive an
electronic copy of his or her protected
health information.
The final rule requires that a covered
health care provider agree in most cases
to an individual’s request to restrict
disclosure to a health plan of the
individual’s protected health
information that pertains to a health
care service for which the individual
has paid the health care provider in full
out of pocket.
If you use an EHR, you must provide an
e-copy of PHI to patients upon request,
within timeframe and costs of Final Rule.
Patients may pay for treatment and ask
provider to withhold PHI from insurer.

48. Greater Use of Health
Information Technology

49. Street Value of Medical Records
A thief downloading and stealing data can get $50
on the street for a medical identification number
compared to just $1 for a Social Security number.
For those receiving the medical ID number and
using it to defraud a health care organization, the
average payout is more than $20,000,” according
to Pam Dixon, executive director of the World
Privacy Forum. "Compare that to just $2,000 for
the average payout for regular ID theft.
