I understand the desire of a vendor not to sort through hundreds of BAA's from different CEs but I also know that the CE does not want to deal with hundreds of different BAA's from different BAs either.
So, is it simply a matter of who blinks first? That is, if the CE insists you sign my agreement but the BA refuses, then must the CE sever their relationship with the BA? Or vice versa? It seems like we have stubborn CEs that only want their BAA signed and we have stubborn BAs that only want their BAA signed. So what happens when the two shall meet?? Does the rule state who has the upper hand here or does it simply state, "Work it out or find a different partner" As a small provider (20 physician office), do we just roll over an accept what the big vendor wants? It seems like we have to accept their BAA if no competition exists or if we do not want the hassle of finding a different BA. I think I got this right. I just wanted confirmation that we must accept the BA's version of the BAA when they present it as a "take it or leave it" proposition since we do not have the resources to look for a different BA (in many circumstances). --- The WEDI SNIP listserv to which you are subscribed is not moderated.
