BAA (Business Associate Agreement)

The contract a HIPAA-covered healthcare organization needs with any vendor handling protected health information.

All glossary terms

A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is the contract a HIPAA-covered healthcare organization needs with any vendor that handles protected health information on its behalf.

Why It Matters

Without a BAA, a vendor that receives PHI puts the healthcare organization out of compliance. Analytics on patient-facing websites can receive PHI without anyone intending it.
