BUSINESS ASSOCIATE AGREEMENT
This Agreement sets out the responsibilities and obligations of MARICOPA COUNTY (“Business Associate” or
“Associate”) as a business associate of the Peoria Unified School District (PUSD), a covered entity, under the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), the Health Information Technology for Economic and
Clinical Health (“HITECH”) Act, and pursuant to the Contract or Engagement Letter between Associate and PUSD.
PUSD may make available and/or transfer to Associate Protected Health Information (“PHI”) of individuals in
conjunction with Services, which Associate will use or disclose only in accordance with this Agreement. Associate
and PUSD agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in order to comply with the use and handling of PHI
under the HIPAA Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, 45 C.F.R. Part 160 and Part
164, Subpart E (“Privacy Standards”) and the HIPAA Security Standards, 45 C.F.R. Part 160 and Part 164, Subpart
C (“Security Standards”), both as amended from time to time. Unless otherwise provided, all capitalized terms in this
Agreement will have the same meaning as provided under the Privacy Standards and Security Standards. Associate
and PUSD will comply with the terms of this Agreement for the duration of the Contract or Engagement Letter and for
such other continuing periods as provided in this Agreement. Upon the compliance date of any final regulation or
amendment to final regulation promulgated by the Secretary of Health and Human Services that affects Associate’s
use or disclosure of PHI, the parties agree to take such reasonable action as is necessary to amend this Agreement
in order for PUSD to comply with such final regulation or amendment to final regulation.
Definitions for terms in this Agreement:
1. Business Associate or Associate means an entity that performs or assists in the performance of a function on
behalf of a Covered Entity, which involves the use, or disclosure of Individually Identifiable Health Information
as defined in 45 C.F.R. § 160.103. In addition, an Associate can be an entity that provides data transmission
services to a Covered Entity, is more than a mere conduit of information, and allows a Covered Entity to
access the maintained information in a manner beyond a random or infrequent basis. The terms “Business
Associate”, “Associate” and “Contractor” are synonymous. Notwithstanding this definition, if Contractor does
not have access to or create Protected Health Information under this Contract, Contractor is not an
Associate, and the terms of this Agreement do not apply to Contractor.
2. Contractors of Business Associate means a person or an entity to whom an Associate delegates a function,
activity, or service that the Associate has agreed to perform for a Covered Entity. A contractor of an
Associate which creates, receives, maintains, or transmits personal health information on behalf of the
business associate is itself a Business Associate and therefore will comply with the terms of this Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement the term “Contractor” includes the Contractor, its employees, its
subcontractors and its agents.
3. Protected Health Information (“PHI”) means the health information that is created or received by a Covered
Entity; and relates to the physical condition, mental health or other health condition of an Individual, or to the
provision of health care to the Individual (including but not limited to the payment for such health care); and
identifies or can be used to identify the Individual as defined in 45 C.F.R. § 160.103.
Business Associate Agreement 1
Revised 06/22/2015

4. Individual shall have the meaning set forth in 45 CFR §160.103, including a person who is the subject of the
Protected Health Information, and shall include an individual or entity who qualifies as a personal, legal
representative of the person, as the context requires.
5. Privacy Rule shall mean the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information at 45 CFR
Parts 160 and 164, Subparts A and E, as may be amended, modified or superseded, from time to time.
6. Security Rule shall mean the Standards for Security of Individually Identifiable Electronic Health Information at
45 CFR Parts 160 and 164, Subparts A, C and E, as may be amended, modified or superseded, from time to
time.
7. Breach shall mean the acquisition, access, use or disclosure of Protected Health Information in a manner not
permitted by the HIPAA Privacy Rule, that compromises the security or privacy of the Protected Health
Information as defined, and subject to the exception given to such term in 45 C.F.R. § 164.402.
8. Breach Notification Rule shall mean the interim final rule related to breach notification for unsecured protected
health information at 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164.
9. Covered Entity shall have the meaning given to such term in 45 C.F.R. § 160.103.
10. Designated Record Set shall have the meaning given to such term under the Privacy Rule at 45 C.F.R. §
164.501.
11. Security Incident shall have the meaning given to such phrase under the Security Rule at 45 C.F.R. § 164.304.
12. Unsecured PHI shall have the meaning given to such phrase under the Breach Notification Rule at 45 C.F.R. §
164.402.
13. Electronic Protected Health Information or ePHI shall have the same meaning given to such term under the
Security Rule, including, but not limited to, 45 C.F.R. § 160.103.
14. Electronic Media shall have the same meaning given to such term in 45 C.F.R. § 160.103.
15. Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, as codified at 42 U.S.C.
§§ 17921-17954.
16. Secretary shall mean the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services or his or her designee.
It is agreed by and between the parties that:
1. Uses and Disclosures of Protected Health Information. Associate will use and disclose PHI only for those
purposes necessary to perform its duties, obligations and functions under the Contract, or as otherwise
expressly permitted in this Agreement or as required by other law.
a. Associate will not use or further disclose any PHI in violation of this Agreement.
b. Associate may use PHI to perform data aggregation services as permitted by 45 C.F. R. § 164.504(e) (2)
(i) (B).
c. Associate agrees that anytime it provides PHI received from PUSD to a Contractor, its employees,
subcontractor, or agent to perform Services for PUSD, Associate first will enter into a contract with such
Contractor, employees, subcontractor or agent that contains the same terms, conditions, and restrictions
on the use and disclosure of PHI as contained in this Agreement.
d. If Associate maintains a Designated Record Set, PUSD will provide Associate with copies of applicable
policies and procedures, which the Associate will comply with as related to an individual’s right to access
PHI; request an amendment to PHI; request confidential communications of PHI; or request an
accounting of disclosures of PHI.
Business Associate Agreement 2

2. Associate Use or Disclosure of Protected Health Information for its Own Purposes. Associate may use or
disclose PHI received from PUSD for Associate’s management and administration, or to carry out Associate’s
legal and contractual responsibilities. Associate may disclose PHI received from PUSD to a third party for such
purposes only if:

b. Associate secures written assurance from the receiving party that the receiving party will: (i) hold the PHI
confidentially; (ii) use or disclose the PHI only as required by law or for the purposes for which it was

c. Associate may use and disclose de-identified health information, if (i) the use is disclosed to PUSD and
permitted by PUSD in its sole discretion, (ii) that the de-identification is in compliance with 45 C.F.R. §
164.502(d), and (iii) the de-identified health information meets the standard and implementation
specifications for de-identification under 45 C.F.R. § 164.514(a) and (b).
d. Associate shall use and disclose PHI only to the extent reasonably necessary to accomplish the intended
purpose of such PHI.
3. Safeguards. Associate will implement and maintain appropriate safeguards to prevent any use or disclosure of
PHI not otherwise permitted in this Agreement.
a. Associate also will implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the
confidentiality, integrity, and availability of any electronic protected health information (“e-PHI”), if any,
that Associate creates, receives, maintains, and transmits on behalf of PUSD.
b. Upon request of PUSD, Associate will provide evidence to PUSD that these safeguards are in place and
are properly managed.
4. Reports of Improper Use or Disclosure of Secure or Unsecure Protected Health Information and of
Security Incidents and Breaches. Associate will report in writing to PUSD any use or disclosure of PHI,
including any breach, not permitted by the contract between Associate and PUSD within five (5) days of
Associate’s learning of such use, disclosure or breach or within five (5) days following the exercise of
reasonable diligence would have known of the improper use, disclosure, or breach.
5. Mitigation of potential harmful effects. Associate shall mitigate all potential harmful effects of a use or
disclosure of Protected Health Information by Business Associate in violation of the requirements of this
Agreement. Immediately following the Associate’s discovery of a Breach (or upon the Associate’s reasonable
belief that a Breach has occurred), Associate shall provide PUSD with sufficient information to permit PUSD to
comply with the Breach notification requirements set forth at 45 C.F.R. §164.400 et seq.

PUSD’ Notice if PUSD specifically informs Associate of the amendment: provided, however, that the amended
Notice shall not affect permitted uses and disclosures on which Associate relied prior to receiving notice of such
amended Notice.
11. Access to Books and Records.
a. PUSD Access. Associate will, within five (5) business days of PUSD written request, make available

Business Associate Agreement 5
Revised 06/22/2015

afford Associate the opportunity to cure the breach to the satisfaction of PUSD within thirty (30) days of the date

may terminate the Contract and this Agreement.
13. Return or Destruction of Protect Health Information.

Associate will return to PUSD all PHI received from PUSD or created or received by Associate on behalf
of PUSD that Associate maintains in any form or format. Associate will not maintain or keep in any form or
format any portion of such PHI. Alternatively, Associate may, upon PUSD written consent, destroy all
such PHI and provide written documentation of such destruction. The requirement to return or destroy
such PHI will apply to all agents or subcontractors of Associate. Associate will be responsible for
recovering any PHI from such agents or subcontractors. If Associate cannot obtain the PHI from any
agent or subcontractor, Associate will so notify PUSD and will require that such agents or subcontractors
directly return PHI to PUSD or otherwise destroy such PHI, subject to the terms of this Section.
b. Alternative Measures. If Associate believes that returning or destroying PHI at the termination of the
Contract or this Agreement is infeasible, it will provide written notice to PUSD within five (5) business
days of the effective date of termination of this Agreement. Such notice will set forth the circumstances
that Associate believes makes the return or destruction of PHI infeasible and the alternative measures
that Associate recommends for assuring the continued confidentiality and security of the PHI. PUSD
promptly will notify Associate of whether it agrees that the return or destruction of PHI is infeasible. If
PUSD agrees that return or destruction of PHI is infeasible, Associate agrees to extend all protections,
limitations and restrictions of this Agreement to Associate’s use or disclosure of PHI retained after
termination of this Agreement and to limit further uses or disclosures to those purposes that make the
return or destruction of the PHI infeasible. Any such extended protections, limitations and restrictions will
apply to any agents or subcontractors of Associate for whom return or destruction of PHI is determined by
PUSD to be infeasible. If PUSD does not agree that the return or destruction of PHI from Associate or its
agents or subcontractors is infeasible, PUSD will provide Associate with written notice of its decision, and
Associate, its agents and subcontractors will proceed with the return or destruction of the PHI pursuant to
the terms of this Section within fifteen (15) days of the date of PUSD notice.
14. Restrictions on Use or Disclosure of Protected Health Information. If PUSD advises Associate of any
changes in, or restrictions to, the permitted use or disclosure of PHI received from PUSD, Associate will restrict
the use or disclosure of such PHI consistent with the PUSD instructions.
15. Mitigation Procedures. Associate agrees to have procedures in place for mitigating, to the maximum extent
practicable, any deleterious effect from the use or disclosure of PHI received from PUSD in a manner contrary
to this Agreement or the Privacy Standards.
16. Compliance with the HITECH Act. Associate will comply with the requirements of Title XII, Subtitle D of the
Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, codified at 42 U.S.C. §§ 17921-
17954, which are applicable to Associates, and will comply with all regulations issued by the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) to implement these referenced statutes, as of the date by which Associates
are required to comply with such referenced statutes and HHS regulations.
a. Associate will also comply with Section 13402 of the HITECH Act, codified at 42 U.S.C. § 17932, and
with all regulations issued by HHS to implement this statute, as of the date by which Associates are
required to comply with such referenced statutes and HHS regulations. Associate will make a report to
the PUSD of any breach of unsecured protected health information, as required by 42 U.S.C. § 17932(b),
within five (5) business days of Associate’s discovery of the breach. Associate will indemnify PUSD for
any reasonable expenses PUSD incurs in notifying individuals of a breach caused by Associate or its
subcontractors or agents.
Business Associate Agreement 6
Revised 06/22/2015

17. Miscellaneous.

good faith request, the other Party agrees to enter good faith negotiations concerning the terms of an
