I will draft a professional hipaa business associate agreement
Licensed USA Attorney Healthcare Compliance And HIPAA Specialist
About this Gig
If you share Protected Health Information (PHI) with a third-party vendor, or if you are a vendor handling PHI for a healthcare provider, a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is legally required. As a licensed USA attorney, I draft professional BAAs that clearly define the responsibilities and liabilities of both parties.
A poorly drafted BAA can leave you liable for a vendors data breach. I ensure your
agreement includes all mandatory HIPAA provisions, including:
- Permitted uses and disclosures of PHI.
- Obligations to implement appropriate safeguards.
- Breach reporting timelines and requirements.
- Subcontractor compliance mandates.
- Provisions for the return or destruction of PHI upon contract end.
I protect your interests by ensuring the BAA is robust, enforceable, and fully compliant with 45 CFR § 164.504(e). Whether you are the Covered Entity or the Business Associate, I provide the legal protection necessary to operate your business and share data with confidence.

FAQ
Why do I need a BAA if I already have a Service Agreement?
HIPAA specifically requires a separate or additional BAA to govern the handling of PHI; a standard contract is insufficient.
Does this cover subcontractors?
Yes, my BAAs include provisions requiring the business associate to ensure its subcontractors follow the same rules.
Who should sign the BAA?
Any third party that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI on behalf of a covered entity.
Can you review a BAA sent to me by a client?
Yes, I provide legal reviews to ensure you aren't assuming excessive liability.
Is this compliant with the HITECH Act?
Yes, all my agreements incorporate HITECH requirements.
