As a “covered entity” under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, the Indian Health Service (IHS) is required to have a written contract with each of its ‘business associates” in order to disclose “protected health information” (which includes most individually identifiable health information) to the business associate. Under business associate clauses in its contracts, the IHS will obtain satisfactory assurance that the business associate will appropriately safeguard protected health information and use such information only for authorized purposes.
