HIPAA & Business Associate Agreements

AdvancedCare, operated by AdvancedCare USA Inc., provides software and revenue cycle services to healthcare practices. All AdvancedCare plans include HIPAA-compliant infrastructure and a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).

For healthcare providers subject to HIPAA regulations, AdvancedCare maintains appropriate safeguards for protected health information (PHI) and will enter into Business Associate Agreements as required by law. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle data.

To request a BAA, or to ask a security question before you sign up, email contact@advancedcare.com or use our contact form.

Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, a business associate is a person or company that performs functions or services for a covered entity (such as a healthcare provider) that involve the use or disclosure of PHI. Billing and claims processing are common examples. Before sharing PHI with a business associate, the covered entity must have a written contract, the BAA, in which the business associate agrees to safeguard that information (45 CFR 164.502(e) and 164.504(e)).
