Does HIPAA apply to a business that analyses health data?
HIPAA is a US law that applies to covered entities, such as healthcare providers and health plans, and to their business associates who handle protected health information for them. An analytics provider working with such data may be a business associate. This is general information, not legal advice.
Where a business associate relationship exists, HIPAA expects a written business associate agreement and appropriate safeguards. HIPAA applies to US-regulated health information and does not cover all health data everywhere.
Other countries have their own rules. Whether HIPAA applies to you depends on who you are and whom you serve, so get advice before assuming it does or does not. Rules differ by country and sector, so check how this applies to you with a qualified adviser.
