As persons involved directly in the treatment of the patient, you do not need a business associate agreement. However, you may wish to include some language in the contract which declares that the relationship between your group and the hospital is an organized health care arrangement (OHCA) and specify which Notice of Privacy Practices will be given to the patient (usually the hospital's).

Subject: Contract Between Anesthesia Group and Hospital
We are an Anesthesia Group Practice that has contracts with facilities
(hospitals)
that we provide anesthesia services for. Do we need to have a separate
Privacy Notice Issued and Acknowledgment signed or can we just have a
"Business Associates" by adding this language to our existing contract?
Surely this is something that is coming up a lot with outside Labs,
Radiology, Physical Therapists that are not facility employees and that do
their own billing based on information that they receive from the facility.
Thank in advance for any information or experience with this matter.
Daryl Ewing, CPC
RPK Anesthesia, P.A.
