What to Do When Your Business Associate Experiences a Breach

May 21, 2024

Access the on-demand webinar here.

As a HIPAA covered entity, your health center thought it had protected itself when disclosing protected health information (PHI) to a business associate by executing a business associate agreement (BAA) with all the HIPAA required provisions. Everything seemed fine…until the business associate experienced a breach. Maybe your health center knew immediately because access to the systems or services provided by the business associate stopped or slowed or maybe the business associate notified your health center of a “potential security incident” it is investigating.

Given the increased number in cybersecurity attacks and the growing reliance on business associates to provide various functions, activities and services for health centers, this webinar will prepare health centers to respond when a business associate experiences a breach. The presentation will cover determining whether the health center or the business associate should make the breach-related HIPAA notifications, whether to notify the health center’s cybersecurity insurance carrier, and whether the health center should continue to contract with the business associate after a breach. The presentation will also include guidance on BAA provisions that can protect health centers should their business associate experience a breach.  Join us for this timely discussion on how to protect your health center when a business associate experiences a breach.
