Our HIPAA Relationship with our Customers

Healthcare providers are designated as “Covered Entities” under the federal privacy regulations. Those covered entities are responsible to ensure that their agents and business partners meet certain obligations with respect to privacy and security. Such parties are designated as “Business Associates”, and the provider generally will have a “Business Associate Agreement” with those parties to ensure that those obligations are met.

medSage is a Business Associate to our clients. As such, we consider ourselves to have four primary responsibilities:

  1. To ensure that we thoroughly understand HIPAA regulations and requirements.
  2. To provide software and services that help you comply with your HIPAA obligations (and meet our Business Associated obligations to you).
  3. To assist our clients in entering into standard Business Associate agreements with medSage.
  4. To ensure that our agents and business partners use systems and processes that are consistent with the Business Associate obligations that we have with our clients.

medSage Technologies includes a Business Associate agreement as part of its standard Terms of Service for all clients. As the BA agreement is, by regulation, the Covered Entity’s contract, many customers will choose to use their own version of this agreement.

As the HIPAA regulations continue to change, medSage will continue to lead the way in providing the best tools to help you meet your HIPAA obligations.
