form, the company is deemed a business associate by law. This deemed
status essentially classifies contracted vendors or individuals as business
associates solely by the nature of the services they provide to a covered
entity, regardless of whether they intended to be classified as business
associates or were aware of their status as such. HIPAA and HITECH may
hold these vendors to business associate obligations as long as they act as
business associates.
Likewise, a subcontractor that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI
on behalf of a business associate is a business associate. A subcontractor of
a subcontractor is a business associate as well, and so on down the line.
