Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech. In our latest episode, we're diving into Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) for group practice owners. We discuss what a BAA is; who is considered a business associate; how to execute and enforce a BAA; documenting BAAs; evaluating if a BAA is sufficient; why a HIPAA statement is not a replacement for a BAA; precedent for enforcement action from the Office of Civil Rights; and what qualifies under the conduit exception.
