Common use of Forwarding Requests From Individual Clause in Contracts

Forwarding Requests From Individual. In the event that any individual requests access to, amendment of, or accounting of PHI directly from Business Associate, Business Associate shall forward such request to Covered Entity. Covered Entity shall have the responsibility of responding to forwarded requests. However, if forwarding the individual’s request to Covered Entity would cause Covered Entity or Business Associate to violate HIPAA Rules, Business Associate shall instead respond to the individual’s request as required by such law and notify Covered Entity of such response as soon as practicable.
