HIPPA Notice

FaceUp & the HIPAA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (hereinafter as “the HIPAA”) requires the protection and confidential handling of protected health information by covered entities such as healthcare providers, health plans and healthcare clearinghouses (hereinafter the “covered entities”). Covered entities need to protect health information according to the HIPAA requirements and develop and distribute a notice that provides an explanation of individuals rights with respect to their personal health information and the privacy practices of health plans and health care providers. 

A “business associate” is a person or entity, other than a member of the workforce of a covered entity, who performs functions or activities on behalf of, or provides certain services to, a covered entity that involve access by the business associate to protected health information.  A business associate also is a subcontractor that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits protected health information on behalf of another business associate. In this respect, FaceUp can also be understood as business associate. 

FaceUp provides the highest security to the personal data you submit in the report, including your health information. However, FaceUp understands that the HIPAA generally requires that covered entities enter into contracts (hereinafter “Business Associate Agreements” or “BAA”) with their business associates to ensure that the business associates will appropriately safeguard protected health information. 

In accordance with HIPAA, FaceUp is prepared to enter into Business Associate Agreements, or BAA.
