We have several clients who are business associates of covered entities and who have been told by their CEs that as BAs they must file for an extension if the CEs are filing for an extension. We've just begun to look at the question and will be interested in seeing the responses to your question.
William H. Roach, Jr. Gardner, Carton & Douglas -----Original Message----- From: Holman, Lisa A. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 1:47 PM To: Transactions (E-mail) Subject: compliance extension for business associates Is there verbiage anywhere that addresses whether a business associate, treating themselves as a covered entity, is eligible to file for transaction compliance extension? Everything I've been reading about the exention seems to apply exclusively to covered entities only. I guess my main questions are, would HHS even accept an extension plan from a business associate and has anyone else run into this particular scenario?
