Business Associate Obligations Business Associate agrees to comply with applicable federal confidentiality and security laws, specifically the provisions of the HIPAA Rules and the HITECH Act applicable to business associates, including: 2.1 Use and Disclosure of PHI. Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the HIPAA Rules, or applicable law, Business Associate shall not make any uses or disclosures of PHI except as necessary to provide services to, or on behalf of, Covered Entity as described in the Underlying Agreement, and shall not use or disclose PHI that would violate the HIPAA Rules or HITECH Act if used or disclosed by Covered Entity; provided, however, Business Associate may use and disclose PHI as necessary for the proper management and administration of Business Associate, or to carry out its legal responsibilities, consistent with Covered Entity’s minimum necessary policies and procedures. Business Associate may not use or disclose PHI which it creates, receives, maintains or transmits for or on behalf of the Covered Entity for any purpose except as otherwise provided by the Agreement and this BAA. Business Associate agrees to review and understand any state privacy and security laws to the extent that such laws are not preempted by HIPAA, as may be amended from time to time. Business Associate acknowledges that it shall comply specifically with the HIPAA Security Rule, and, to the extent that Business Associate is to carry out one or more of Covered Entity’s obligations under the Privacy Rule, it shall comply with the requirements of the Privacy Rule which apply to Covered Entity in the performance of such obligation(s). Business Associate shall in such cases: 2.1.1 provide information to members of its workforce using or disclosing PHI regarding the confidentiality requirements in the HIPAA Rules and this Agreement; 2.1.2 obtain reasonable assurances, in writing from the person or entity to whom the PHI is disclosed that: (i) the PHI will be held in confidence and further used and disclosed only as required by law or for the purpose for which it was disclosed to the person or entity; and (ii) the person or entity will notify Business Associate of any instances of which it is aware in which confidentiality of the PHI has been breached; and 2.1.3 agree to notify the Privacy Officer of Covered Entity of any instances of which it is aware in which the PHI is used or disclosed for a purpose that is not otherwise provided for in this Agreement or for a purpose not expressly permitted by the HIPAA Rules or HITECH Act. 2.2 Marketing; Sale of PHI.
