Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that this BAA serves as notification, and that no further notification is required, of the ongoing existence of Unsuccessful Security Incidents. For purposes of this BAA, an “Unsuccessful Security Incident” shall include, without limitation, activity such as pings and other broadcast attacks on Business Associate’s firewall, port scans, unsuccessful log-on attempts, denial of service, and any combination of the above, so long as such activity does not result in unauthorized access, use, acquisition, or disclosure of PHI.

2.6 Inspection of Books and Records. Business Associate will make its internal books and records relating to the use and disclosure of PHI available to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health of Human Services for the purpose of determining Covered Entity’s compliance with the HIPAA Rules.

3.3 Restrictions. Covered Entity shall notify Business Associate of any restrictions in the use or disclosure of PHI from an Individual that Covered Entity has agreed to in accordance with 45 C.F.R 164.522.
4. Term and Termination.
4.1 Term. Upon termination of the BAA, Business Associate shall return or destroy all PHI received from, or created or received by Business Associate on behalf of, Covered Entity that the Business Associate still maintains in any form and retain no copies of such information. If return or destruction of the PHI is not feasible, Business Associate will extend the protections of this BAA to the PHI for so long as Business Associate maintains the PHI and will limit further uses and disclosures of such PHI to the purpose that renders return or destruction infeasible.
4.2 Termination for Cause. In the event that either Party violates a material term of this BAA, the other Party may terminate the BAA provided that non-breaching Party notifies the breaching Party of such breach and provides the breaching Party with an opportunity to cure the breach or end the violation. If such violation is not cured within thirty (30) days, the non-breaching Party may terminate this BAA.
5. Amendment. The Parties agree to take reasonable actions to amend this BAA if amendment is necessary to comply with the HIPAA Rules.
6. Interpretation. Any ambiguity in this BAA shall be resolved in favor of a meaning that permits the Parties to comply with the HIPAA Rules. This BAA shall supersede any previous agreement between the Parties that was entered into for the purpose of protecting PHI.

WHEREAS, Business Associate has agreed to perform certain data analytics and other Health Care Operations services involving Protected Health Information (“PHI”) on behalf of Covered Entity as further described in the Agreement (the “Services”).
WHEREAS, in connection with performing the Services, Business Associate may be required to access, use, create, receive, maintain, transmit, and/or disclose Covered Entity’s Protected Health Information (“PHI”), as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, (“HIPAA”) and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH Act”), and the final regulations to such Acts that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) has promulgated and set forth in 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164 (collectively, the “HIPAA Rules”); and
WHEREAS, to comply with the requirements of the HIPAA Rules, the Parties wish to enter into this BAA.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this BAA shall have the same meaning as those terms in the HIPAA Rules. A regulatory reference in this BAA means the section as in effect or as amended, and for which compliance is required.
2. Business Associate Obligations.
2.1 Permitted Uses and Disclosures. Business Associate agrees to not use and/or disclose PHI other than as permitted or required by this BAA or as Required by Law. To the extent that Business Associate is to carry out one or more of Covered Entity's obligation(s) under the HIPAA Rules, Business Associate shall comply with the provisions in the HIPAA Rules that would apply to Covered Entity in the performance of such obligation(s). Business Associate may use and disclose PHI created or received pursuant to this BAA as follows:
2.1.1 To perform functions, activities, or services for, or on behalf of, Covered Entity as permitted in this BAA (including to perform the Services), provided that such use or disclosure would not violate 45 C.F.R. Part 164, Subpart E if done by Covered Entity;

(1) Hold the Covered Entity’s Protected Health Information in confidence and use or further disclose the Covered Entity’s Protected Health Information only for the purpose for which the Business Associate disclosed the Covered Entity’s Protected Health Information to the person or entity or as Required by Law; and
(2) Promptly notify the Business Associate (who will in turn notify the Covered Entity) of any instance of which the person or entity becomes aware in which the confidentiality of the Covered Entity’s Protected Health Information was breached.
2.1.3 To provide Data Aggregation services to Covered Entity as permitted by 45 CFR § 164.504(e)(2)(i)(B), to the extent requested by Covered Entity.
2.1.4 To report violations of law to appropriate Federal authorities consistent with 45 C.F.R 164.502(j)(1), or as otherwise Required By Law.
2.1.5 To create de-identified data consistent with 45 C.F.R 164.514.
2.2 Minimum Necessary. Each party will make reasonable efforts to use, disclose, or request only the minimum necessary PHI to accomplish the intended purpose.
2.3 Safeguards. Business Associate will use reasonable and appropriate safeguards (and, if applicable, comply with 45 CFR subpart C with respect to Electronic Protected Health Information) to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of PHI.
2.4 Reporting Requirements. Business Associate shall, without unreasonable delay but in no event later than sixty (60) days, notify Covered Entity of any Breach of Unsecured Protected Health Information, or other use or disclosure not permitted under this BAA, of which Business Associate becomes aware. Business Associate shall report Security Incidents (which may include periodic aggregate reporting of Security Incidents) to Covered Entity within a reasonable amount of time after such Security Incident occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that this BAA serves as notification, and that no further notification is required, of the ongoing existence of Unsuccessful Security Incidents. For purposes of this BAA, an “Unsuccessful Security Incident” shall include, without limitation, activity such as pings and other broadcast attacks on Business Associate’s firewall, port scans, unsuccessful log-on attempts, denial of service, and any combination of the above, so long as such activity does not result in unauthorized access, use, acquisition, or disclosure of PHI.
2.5 Agents and Subcontractors. Business Associate will ensure that any agent or Subcontractor to whom it provides PHI agrees in writing to the same restrictions and conditions that HIPAA requires to apply to Business Associate through this BAA.
2.6 Inspection of Books and Records. Business Associate will make its internal books and records relating to the use and disclosure of PHI available to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health of Human Services for the purpose of determining Covered Entity’s compliance with the HIPAA Rules.
2.7 Access. In the event that Business Associate maintains PHI in a Designated Record Set, Business Associate will provide access to PHI to Covered Entity in order to allow Covered Entity to satisfy its obligations under 45 C.F.R. § 164.524.

3.3 Restrictions. Covered Entity shall notify Business Associate of any restrictions in the use or disclosure of PHI from an Individual that Covered Entity has agreed to in accordance with 45 C.F.R 164.522.
4. Term and Termination.
4.1 Term. Upon termination of the BAA, Business Associate shall return or destroy all PHI received from, or created or received by Business Associate on behalf of, Covered Entity that the Business Associate still maintains in any form and retain no copies of such information. If return or destruction of the PHI is not feasible, Business Associate will extend the protections of this BAA to the PHI for so long as Business Associate maintains the PHI and will limit further uses and disclosures of such PHI to the purpose that renders return or destruction infeasible.
4.2 Termination for Cause. In the event that either Party violates a material term of this BAA, the other Party may terminate the BAA provided that non-breaching Party notifies the breaching Party of such breach and provides the breaching Party with an opportunity to cure the breach or end the violation. If such violation is not cured within thirty (30) days, the non-breaching Party may terminate this BAA.
5. Amendment. The Parties agree to take reasonable actions to amend this BAA if amendment is necessary to comply with the HIPAA Rules.
6. Interpretation. Any ambiguity in this BAA shall be resolved in favor of a meaning that permits the Parties to comply with the HIPAA Rules. This BAA shall supersede any previous agreement between the Parties that was entered into for the purpose of protecting PHI.
