A business associate is a person (not part of the workforce of the covered entity) or organization that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits protected health information on behalf of the covered entity. Covered entities must have contracts or other arrangements in place with their business associates to ensure that the business associates safeguard protected health information, and use and disclose the information only as permitted or required by the Privacy Rule. A covered entity may be a business associate of another covered entity. |

A covered entity may be a business associate of another covered entity. |
