If you see a banner on your dashboard that says [Click to Sign] the HIPAA BAA (like the image below), simply click on the button to sign.
If you do not see the banner on the dashboard, it means you or another account user have signed, and no further action is needed. (Thank you!)
A BAA is a legal contract that outlines the responsibilities of both Cash Practice Systems and your practice in safeguarding patient information. It ensures that we handle PHI in compliance with HIPAA regulations.
By signing the BAA, you can rest assured that your practice is taking proactive steps to protect sensitive patient data. We understand the importance of patient privacy and are committed to maintaining the strictest confidentiality.

"The Privacy Rule allows covered providers and health plans to disclose protected health information to these “business associates” if the providers or plans obtain satisfactory assurances that the business associate will use the information only for the purposes for which it was engaged by the covered entity, will safeguard the information from misuse, and will help the covered entity comply with some of the covered entity’s duties under the Privacy Rule. https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/privacy/guidance/business-associates/index.html"
