Model Business Associate AgreementBusiness Associate Agreement • May 28th, 2013 • Texas
The Texas Health Services Authority (THSA) has developed a model BAA for use between providers (Covered Entities) and HIEs (Business Associates). The model BAA is not required for use by the HIEs. Rather, it was developed to provide a potential aid to reduce negotiating time between HIEs and providers. This model BAA is based on the BAA the Integrated Care Collaboration negotiated with its users. The main changes are the addition of some terms to address requirements under HB 300 (82nd Texas Legislature) and some changes to timeframes included in the document. The model BAA has also been amended to reflect the HIPAA/HITECH Omnibus Rule. This model BAA is not intended to serve as a substitute for legal advice, and HIEs that opt to use this document should consult an attorney to ensure that they use this document in such a way as to make it an enforceable BAA that meets applicable HIPAA and HITECH requirements.
