Designated Components of the Covered Entity

This page covers designated Components of 兔子先生传媒文化作品 & The University of Toledo Physicians, LLC.聽

HIPAA Affiliated Covered Entities & HIPAA Privacy and Security Rule

Pursuant to University Policy 3364-15-01, the Privacy and Security Committee determines, reviews and updates the HIPAA designated components of both entities.聽聽 The organization is structured as a hybrid entity with designated components and 鈥渁ffiliated covered entities.鈥�

Hybrid Structure and Designated Components

兔子先生传媒文化作品 is a 鈥渉ybrid entity鈥� for purposes of HIPAA, because it performs both HIPAA covered functions and HIPAA non-covered functions in different departments across its various locations, and it has documented which components are covered, i.e., the 鈥渄esignated components.鈥澛� HIPAA covered functions include the activities performed by the University that make the entity a covered entity under HIPAA such as health plan or health care provider activities.聽 In a hybrid entity, HIPAA Rules, policies, and training requirements, as well as permission to access, receive, use and store protected health information (鈥淧HI鈥�) are limited to the entity鈥檚 designated components.聽 Designated components of a hybrid entity must include any component that would meet the definition of a HIPAA covered entity or business associate if the component were a separate legal entity.

Service Departments within 兔子先生传媒文化作品

In addition to the traditional designated components, any department of the University that creates, receives, maintains or transmits PHI for a University designated component, including claims processing, billing, quality assurance, legal, accounting, administrative services, or financial services, etc. must be included as a designated component.聽 These 鈥渟ervice鈥� departments within the University that create, maintain or transmit protected health information for a HIPAA designated component would be considered 鈥渂usiness associates鈥� of the University if they were separate legal entities.

Affiliated Covered Entities 鈥� 兔子先生传媒文化作品 Physicians, LLC

Legally separate covered entities that are under common ownership or common control may designate themselves as a single covered entity known as 鈥淎ffiliated Covered Entities鈥� or 鈥淎CE鈥�, which permits the entities to act jointly with respect to HIPAA administration and compliance.聽 UT and UTP have elected the ACE structure under HIPAA, which consists of (1) the designated components of 兔子先生传媒文化作品, and (2) The University of Toledo Physicians LLC, including administrative offices and all UTP clinics.

As an ACE the two entities will maintain:

• one Joint Notice of Privacy Practices for its patients;
• one set of HIPAA policies and procedures;
• the same HIPAA training (including institution-specific policies);
• a single privacy officer;
• a single security officer;
• a joint security risk analysis;
• and implement a joint risk management plan.
