For those of you who have business assoc. contracts in place, did you find
suppliers are generally willing to sign the contract?
I attended a Lorman HIPPA seminar-they said if any PHI ( such as patient name
or even only measurements) was given to a fabrication supplier, we would need
a contract with that supplier. (example: Donjoy, Townsend, TEC, DAW, etc)
The suggested contract in AOPA's HIPAA Compliance Guide is a multi-page
document. Did you simply customize this suggested contract? I didn't
realize how long and all encompassing the contract would be. It makes for
quite a project to produce these contracts for all of our business associates.
Curious about what others practices are doing and your responses are
appreciated.
Thank you.
