Business Associate Agreements (BAA)
Your Shield for HIPAA Compliance and Patient Data Protection
OneHive Healthcare
Your Trusted HIPAA-Compliant RCM Partner
At OneHive Healthcare, we understand that protecting patient information isn’t just a legal obligation—it’s a critical responsibility rooted in trust. Our comprehensive Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) ensure full HIPAA compliance while delivering top-tier revenue cycle management (RCM) services for your healthcare practice.
What is a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?
A Business Associate Agreement is a HIPAA-mandated legal contract between healthcare providers (covered entities) and service vendors (business associates like OneHive Healthcare). It governs how Protected Health Information (PHI) is accessed, used, and protected.
Legal Requirement Timeline:
2003 – BAAs became mandatory
2009 & 2013 – Penalties and liability expanded under HITECH
Since 2013 – Business associates became directly liable for HIPAA violations
Fines – Up to $1.9 million per incident
