HIPAA Readiness. Business Associate agrees that it will be fully compliant with the requirements of HIPAA and the HITECH Act, as applicable, and will provide the Covered Entity with written certification of such compliance upon request.
HIPAA Readiness. On December 30, 2000 the Department of Health and Human Services, under congressional direction, issued the final version of the Privacy regulation outlined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The rule guarantees that patients shall be protected against disclosure or misuse of their Protected Health Information. A stipulation of this regulation requires that a Business Associate Agreement should exist between a "covered entity" (healthcare provider) and a "non-covered entity" (Business Associate) that provides products or services for the "covered entity" that involves disclosure or exchange of a patient’s Protected Health Information.

HIPAA Readiness. The Sellers represent and warrant that the Company has processed test claim files on its processing system, has submitted these test files to ClarEdi for HIPAA compliance review, and ClarEdi certifies that the specific capabilities represented in the data stream are in compliance with the HIPAA implementation guides. ClarEdi has issued to company certification through level 6 for Medical, Dental, and Institutional claims. As of the Effective Date, all internal programming necessary to achieve ClarEdi's level 6 certification status has in fact been completed. However, as of the Effective Date, the Company does not have any client submitting HIPAA-compliant 837 transactions nor do any of our existing payer connections accept a HIPAA-compliant 837 transaction; therefore, the Sellers are not able at this time to warrant that no additional programming to the processing system will be required in order for such processing system to process HIPAA-compliant claims once the Company's clients are ready to be or are in full production with the ANSI 837 HIPAA-compliant transactions.
