The HIPAA Privacy Rule and HR/benefits outsourcing: does the business associate label belong on your recordkeeper?
Article Abstract:
Employers, who sponsor group health plans and serve as the plan administrator of those plans, are required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Privacy Rule to execute business associate contracts with vendors that provide services on behalf of the plans. Employers are cautioned against an overly broad application of the requirements when dealing with an integrated HR and benefits-outsourcing record keeper.
