Business Associate Agreement (BAA)

A legally required contract between a HIPAA-covered entity and a vendor that handles protected health information (PHI).

In Detail

Under HIPAA, any third-party vendor that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI on behalf of a covered entity must sign a BAA. This includes EMR vendors, billing services, cloud storage providers, and AI platforms like PRACTIS. The BAA specifies permitted uses of PHI, security requirements, breach notification procedures, and termination conditions. PRACTIS includes a BAA with every subscription and maintains SOC 2 Type II certification.
