To our valued business associates:
Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), entities involved in the payment and delivery of health care services must comply with specific requirements under 45 CFR Parts 160, 162 and 164 relating to medical records privacy, electronic transaction standards, and security.
QualSight’s health plan clients, including HMOs, employers and insurers, are considered “covered entities”, which requires our clients to enter into a "Business Associate Agreement" with us. In some instances, QualSight is a Business Associate and a “covered entity” as well when service is provided through our network of Board Certified Ophthalmologists.
In order to obtain a Business Associate Agreement from QualSight, you may download a Business Associate Agreement Form (PDF file) for your review and signature. If your contract with QualSight already includes "business associate" provisions, then you do not need to download this form. Otherwise, please forward your executed agreement to your QualSight Account Manager.
