If I need to be compliant with HIPAA, is Brookes Publishing Co. able to be a Business Associate in accordance with HIPAA regulations?
If you are a health care provider using AEPSi™, according to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Brookes Publishing Co. qualifies as your Business Associate because we are handling protected health information (PHI) in the form of child data entered by you into AEPSi. Under the terms of HIPAA's Privacy Rule, you must obtain satisfactory written assurances from Brookes Publishing Co. that we will appropriately safeguard the PHI that we receive or create on your behalf.
Brookes satisfies this requirement by entering into a Business Associate Agreement with health care providers using AEPSi. If HIPAA applies to you, please contact Brookes at implementation@brookespublishing.com.
