BAA & PHI: What do They Mean?
Two key components of HIPAA compliance are protected health information (PHI) and business associate agreements (BAA).
PHI
PHI refers to all protected personal medical data. This includes health insurance details, medical history and data, treatment history, lab results, basic demographic information, and similar details.
BAA
BAAs are agreements signed by business associates that are subject to HIPAA protections. Business associates may include lawyers, accountants, software providers, and others. Once a BAA is signed, all parties are expected to abide by regulations established by HIPAA.
