Common use of Interpretation of this Business Associate Agreement Clause in Contracts

Interpretation of this Business Associate Agreement. A reference in this Business Associate Agreement to HIPAA means the section in effect or as amended. If there is a dispute as to whether Business Associate is, in fact, a Business Associate, the Business Associate must provide a legal memorandum to the City indicating why the Business Associate does not fall under the definition of Business Associate in HIPAA. If the City disagrees with the legal memorandum regarding the Business Associate’s conclusion that Business Associate is not a Business Associate, the City may choose to report a Breach to the Secretary or take other measures as deemed necessary to ensure the City’s compliance with HIPAA. Any ambiguity or inconsistency in this Business Associate Agreement shall be resolved in favor of a meaning that permits City to comply with HIPAA.
