No, a "disclosure" to a business associate is not a
true disclosure since the business associate is actually acting in the place of
the covered entity. Thus, no disclosure has taken place for all intents and
purposes.

--------Original Message-----By the same token, for the patient accounting, would you have to include disclosures you make to business associates like transcription agencies and disposal agencies? They would come up very often...
