I would also tend to lean that way. Could we get a

This discussion has appeared on other healthcare
listservs and there seems to be a strong leaning
towards having medical device manufacture reps be considered part of TPO. It
brings up an interesting liability issue as well as a patient consent issue for
reps being in the OR.
David,
They do, but I'm not directly involved, so I don't know the
answer to your question.
Jim Hewitt did bring up an interesting point that these
vendors may also be hardware/software support people. In that role, I
would think that a BAA would be appropriate to state that they would pro

Medical equipment vendors often receive PHI, if you're
not careful. Machines like heart rate monitors often
store patient identifiers, and if a technician takes
one off-site for repairs the PHI goes with it.

I believe that in this

would not be a BA. They would be a CE if they used any of the standard

Dawn,
This looks like a lot of "CYA" BAA contracts being sent
unnecessarily. The logic seems to be send them to everybody, and see who
signs them.
Don't forget that the CE is the one who is responsible to
ensure that the proper BAAs are in place. Since a contract is signed by
both sides,

It's more likely this activity/role falls under a
DME provider activity and thus may make this function/role a provider type. If
they then seek reimbursement from a payer/health plan, this constitutes acting
as a provider, doesn't it?

Jill,
I agree with Dan.
The critical question is do you do anything on behalf of a
Covered Entity that involves PHI? If this answer is "No", you do not need
a BAA.
Providing devices to non-patients isolates you from
PHI.
Providing devices to patients is acting on behalf of yourself

decision would have to be very fact based. For example, if a wheelchair

Are medical vendors that supply products like prosthesis, wheelchairs, etc., considered BA? I have been researching this and can't seem to come up with clear answer...
