RE: Physicians as business associates

[Matthew Rosenblum]

Jill,   Heath care treatment providers (acting in the capacity of treatment providers) do not fit the definition of Business Associate as defined in the Privacy regulations.  Therefore, a BAC is not applicable.   I hope that this helps.   Your questions are always welcome.   Matt   Matthew Rosenblum Chief Operations Officer Privacy, Quality Management & Regulatory Affairs http://www.CPIdirections.com   CPI Directions, Inc. 10 West 15th Street, Suite 1922 New York, NY 10011   (212) 675-6367 [EMAIL PROTECTED]   CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This E-Mail is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
