HIPAA Addendum Clause Samples
A HIPAA Addendum is a contractual provision that ensures compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) when handling protected health information (PHI). This clause typically outlines the responsibilities of each party regarding the safeguarding, use, and disclosure of PHI, and may require the signing of a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) if one party is handling PHI on behalf of another. Its core practical function is to allocate legal responsibility and ensure that all parties adhere to federal privacy and security standards, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorized disclosures and regulatory penalties.
