Question:
Answer:
A business associate is not required to inform the HIPAA covered entity of a breach of PHI
Correct Answer?
Explanation:
An entity acting as a business associate is subject to regulation even if the entity has not signed a business associate agreement
If a business associate agreement dates from before January 25, 2013, the agreement does not need to be updated
If a business associate is carrying out a HIPAA obligation on behalf of a HIPAA covered entity, the covered entity is not liable to the Office for Civil Rights
