Under HIPAA a person or entity that provides services to a CE that do not involve the use or disclosure of PHI would be considered a WHAT.?
Under HIPAA, a person or entity that provides services to a covered entity (CE) but does not involve the use or disclosure of protected health information (PHI) is considered a "business associate." However, if the services provided do not involve PHI at all, the entity may not fall under HIPAA's business associate definition and may not have to comply with HIPAA regulations. It's important to evaluate the nature of the services provided to determine the appropriate classification.
What is the determining factor in deciding whether or not health care providers are considered covered entities under HIPAA?
There is no one determining factor. The following criteria determines if an entity is a Covered Entity (CE): * A Health Plan * A Health Care Clearinghouse * A Health Care Provider who transmits any health information in electronic form in connection with a transactiopn covered by this subchapter (160.103). In the later's case, pretty much any kind of electronic communication is considered to qualify. While attempts have been made to deny CE status based on the "no transmission" exception, I can't recall a time that's worked. Furthermore, other privacy laws which don't allow that exception can either refer to HIPAA or trigger HIPAA. Ergo, if you provide health care, you are almost certainly a CE.
