HIPAA Update for Program Participants:
Business Associate Agreement with PRMS

Under HIPAA, psychiatrists may disclose protected patient health information to obtain and maintain professional liability insurance benefits. The HIPAA Privacy Rule requires that such disclosures must be done after a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) between the health care provider and the company is in place.

As another benefit of your participation, it is not necessary to develop a BAA for use with PRMS, the manager of The Psychiatrists’ Program. A signed BAA has been sent to you. The BAA sets out how we will safeguard protected health information that is disclosed by you for the purpose of obtaining or maintaining medical liability coverage or for the purpose of obtaining benefits from such insurance.

We value your participation in The Program and have provided additional information about the HIPAA Privacy Rule in our Online Education Center (For Participants Only section, must login).
