What is a BAA?
A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is a legally binding document that outlines the responsibilities and obligations between a covered entity (such as a healthcare provider) and a business associate (such as Twofold Health) when handling Protected Health Information (PHI) under HIPAA regulations.
Twofold Health’s Commitment
At Twofold Health, we are fully committed to protecting your PHI and ensuring compliance with HIPAA regulations. When you sign up for our service, you automatically agree to our BAA, which governs how we handle your data.
Key Provisions of Our BAA
Use and Disclosure of PHI
We only use or disclose PHI as necessary to provide our services or as required by law. We also have the right to de-identify data, ensuring that it is no longer subject to HIPAA regulations.
Safeguards
We implement comprehensive administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your PHI from unauthorized use or disclosure.
Reporting and Mitigation
We are committed to promptly reporting any unauthorized use or disclosure of PHI and taking steps to mitigate any potential harm.
Subcontractors
Any subcontractors we work with are required to adhere to the same strict standards for protecting PHI.
Data Access and Amendments
We ensure that you have access to your PHI and can request amendments, as required by HIPAA.
