If you're launching a private practice, there's one document you must have in place before working with vendors who access patient data: the Business Associate Agreement (BAA). In this episode, we’re breaking down exactly what a BAA is, who needs to sign one, and how to make sure you're protected.
Whether you're using a cloud-based EHR, outsourcing your billing, or working with a marketing agency — if they touch protected health information (PHI), they need a BAA.
Tune in to learn:
- What a Business Associate Agreement actually does
- Real-world examples of vendors who require a BAA
- The simple steps to get your agreements in place
- What can happen if you skip this critical compliance step
- Protecting patient data isn’t optional — and neither is this conversation.

Action Steps
