BAA Agreement
Business Associate Agreement
BAAs satisfy HIPAA regulations, and create a bond of liability that binds two parties.
If one member violates a BAA, the other has legal recourse. If there’s no BAA or it’s incomplete, or if it gets violated, then both associates may find themselves in hot water with HIPAA and other FDA regulations.
