Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between covered entities and business associates?
Covered entities (providers, insurers, clearinghouses) have direct HIPAA obligations. Business associates handle PHI on their behalf under BAAs and have specific Security Rule requirements.
How do we conduct a HIPAA risk analysis?
Identify all PHI, assess threats and vulnerabilities, evaluate current controls, determine likelihood and impact of breaches, and document risk levels. This must be updated regularly.
What are the breach notification requirements?
Breaches affecting 500+ individuals require HHS notification within 60 days and media notice. Smaller breaches are logged and reported annually. Individual notification is required regardless of size.
