Accounting for Disclosures. Within ten (10) working days of receipt of a notice by HHS (or an HHS contractor acting as HHS' agent) that HHS has received a request for an accounting of disclosures of PHI regarding an individual, Contractor shall make such information available to HHS (or its agent) so as to allow HHS or its agent to make the accounting required by 45 CFR section 164.528. At a minimum, Contractor shall provide HHS or its agent with the following information: (a) the date of the disclosure; (b) the name of the entity or person who received the PHI, and if known, the address of such entity or person; (c) a brief description of the PHI disclosed; and (d) a brief statement of the purpose of such disclosure which includes an explanation of the basis for such disclosure. In the event the request for an accounting is delivered directly to Contractor, Contractor shall, within two (2) days of receipt of such request by Contractor, forward such request to HHS and the relevant health plan. It shall be the responsibility of HHS or its agent to prepare and deliver any such accounting requested. Contractor hereby agrees to implement an appropriate record keeping process to enable it to comply with this requirement.
