Who needs to be HIPAA compliant?
Quote from Admin on September 24, 2024, 3:45 pmHIPAA compliance is required for "covered entities" and their "business associates." Covered entities are health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and healthcare providers that electronically transmit health information in HHS-regulated transactions. Business associates are individuals or entities performing tasks involving the use or disclosure of PHI on behalf of, or providing services to, a covered entity.
