This Business Associate Addendum ("Addendum") is a part of the Contract dated
October 1, 2007 between the Department of Public Health and Environment and Board of
County Commissioners of Eagle County, contract number 08 FLA 00398. For purposes of this
Addendum, the State is referred to as "Covered Entity" or "CE" and the Contractor is referred to
as "Associate". Unless the context clearly requires a distinction between the Contract document
and this Addendum, all references herein to "the Contract" or "this Contract" include this
Addendum.
RECITALS
A. CE wishes to disclose certain information to Associate pursuant to the terms of the
Contract, some of which may constitute Protected Health Information ("PHI") (defined
below).
B. CE and Associate intend to protect the privacy and provide for the security of PHI
disclosed to Associate pursuant to this Contract in compliance with the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, 42 U.S.C. § 1320d -1320d-8 ("H1PAA") and
its implementing regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services, 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164 (the "Privacy Rule") and other applicable laws, as
amended.
C. As part of the H1PAA regulations, the Privacy Rule requires CE to enter into a contract
containing specific requirements with Associate prior to the disclosure of PHI, as set
forth in, but not limited to, Title 45, Sections 160.103, 164.502(e) and 164.504(e) of the
Code of Federal Regulations ("C.F.R.") and contained in this Addendum.
The parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions.
a. Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Addendum shall have
the definitions set forth in the HIPAA Privacy Rule at 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164, as amended.
In the event of any conflict between the mandatory provisions of the Privacy Rule and the
provisions of this Contract, the Privacy Rule shall control. Where the provisions of this Contract
differ from those mandated by the Privacy Rule, but are nonetheless permitted by the Privacy
Rule, the provisions of this Contract shall control.
b. "Protected Health Information" or "PHI" means any information, whether oral or
recorded in any form or medium: (i) that relates to the past, present or future physical or mental
condition of an individual; the provision of health care to an individual; or the past, present or

Rule, including, but not limited to, 45 C.F.R. Section 164.501.
c. "Protected Information" shall mean PHI provided by CE to Associate or created
or received by Associate on CE's behalf. To the extent Associate is a covered entity under

Associate as a covered entity and Associate shall follow its own policies and procedures for
accounting, access and amendment of Associate's PHI.

law; (iv) for Data Aggregation purposes for the Health Care Operations of CE; or (v) to report
violations of law to appropriate federal or state authorities, consistent with 45 C.F.R. Section
164.502(j)(1). To the extent that Associate discloses Protected Information to a third party,
Associate must obtain, prior to making any such disclosure: (i) reasonable assurances from such
third party that such Protected Information will be held confidential as provided pursuant to this
Addendum and only disclosed as required by law or for the purposes for which it was disclosed
to such third party; and (ii) an agreement from such third parry to notify Associate within two
business days of any breaches of confidentiality of the Protected Information, to the extent it has
obtained knowledge of such breach. Additional provisions, if any, governing permitted
disclosures of Protected Information are set forth in Attachment 1.

necessary to prevent the use or disclosure of Protected Information other than as permitted by

individual's authorization, or a copy of the written request for disclosure. In the event that the
request for an accounting is delivered directly to Associate or its agents or subcontractors,
Associate shall within five (5) business days of the receipt of the request forward it to CE in

manner designated by the Secretary, for purposes of determining CE's compliance with the
Privacy Rule. Associate shall provide to CE a copy of any Protected Information that Associate
provides to the Secretary concurrently with providing such Protected Information to the
Secretary.
j. Minimum Necessary. Associate (and its agents or subcontractors) shall only
request, use and disclose the minimum amount of Protected Information necessary to accomplish
the purpose of the request, use or disclosure, in accordance with the Minimum Necessary
requirements of the Privacy Rule including, but not limited to 45 C.F.R. Sections 164.502(b) and
164.514(d).
k. Data Ownership. Associate acknowledges that Associate has no ownership rights
with respect to the Protected Information.
1. Retention of Protected Information. Except upon termination of the Contract as
provided in Section 4(d) of this Addendum, Associate and its subcontractors or agents shall
retain all Protected Information throughout the term of this Contract and shall continue to
maintain the information required under Section 2(h) of this Addendum for a period of six (6)
years.
m. Associate's Insurance. Associate shall maintain casualty and liability insurance
to cover loss of PHI data and claims based upon alleged violations of privacy rights through
improper use or disclosure of PHI. All such policies shall meet or exceed the minimum
insurance requirements of the Contract (e.g., occurrence basis, combined single dollar limits,
annual aggregate dollar limits, additional insured status and notice of cancellation).

CE within two business days of any suspected or actual breach of security, intrusion or

Colorado Model BA Provision and
Addendum For New or Amended Contracts
Rev. 10/03
violation of any applicable federal or state laws or regulations. Associate shall take (i) prompt
corrective action to cure any such deficiencies and (ii) any action pertaining to such unauthorized
disclosure required by applicable federal and state laws and regulations.
o. Audits, Inspection and Enforcement. Within ten (10) business days of a written
request by CE, Associate and its agents or subcontractors shall allow CE to conduct a reasonable
inspection of the facilities, systems, books, records, agreements, policies and procedures relating
to the use or disclosure of Protected Information pursuant to this Addendum for the purpose of
determining whether Associate has complied with this Addendum; provided, however, that: (i)
Associate and CE shall mutually agree in advance upon the scope, timing and location of such an
inspection; (ii) CE shall protect the confidentiality of all confidential and proprietary information
of Associate to which CE has access during the course of such inspection; and (iii) CE shall
execute a nondisclosure agreement, upon terms mutually agreed upon by the parties, if requested
by Associate. The fact that CE inspects, or fails to inspect, or has the right to inspect,
Associate's facilities, systems, books, records, agreements, policies and procedures does not
relieve Associate of its responsibility to comply with this Addendum, nor does CE's (i) failure to
detect or (ii) detection, but failure to notify Associate or require Associate's remediation of any
unsatisfactory practices, constitute acceptance of such practice or a waiver of CE's enforcement
rights under the Contract.
p. Safeguards During Transmission. Associate shall be responsible for using
appropriate safeguards to maintain and ensure the confidentiality, privacy and security of
Protected Information transmitted to CE pursuant to the Contract, in accordance with the
standards and requirements of the Privacy Rule, until such Protected Information is received by

notice by CE of a restriction upon uses or disclosures or request for confidential communications
pursuant to 45 C.F.R. 164.522, Associate will restrict the use or disclosure of an individual's
Protected Information, provided Associate has agreed to such a restriction. Associate will not
respond directly to an individual's requests to restrict the use or disclosure of Protected
Information or to send all communication of Protect Information to an alternate address.
Associate will refer such requests to the CE so that the CE can coordinate and prepare a timely
response to the requesting individual and provide direction to Associate.
3. Obligations of CE.
a. Safeguards During Transmission. CE shall be responsible for using appropriate
safeguards to maintain and ensure the confidentiality, privacy and security of PHI transmitted to
Associate pursuant to this Contract, in accordance with the standards and requirements of the
Privacy Rule, until such PHI is received by Associate, and in accordance with any specifications
set forth in Attachment 1.

privacy practices produced in accordance with 45 C.F.R. Section 164.520, as well as any
Page 5 of 9
Colorado Model BA Provision and
Addendum For New or Amended Contracts
Rev. 10/03
subsequent changes or limitation(s) to such notice, to the extent such changes or limitations may
effect Associate's use or disclosure of Protected Information. CE shall provide Associate with
any changes in, or revocation of, permission to use or disclose Protected Information, to the
extent it may affect Associate's permitted or required uses or disclosures. To the extent that it
may affect Associate's permitted use or disclosure of PHI, CE shall notify Associate of any
restriction on the use or disclosure of Protected Information that CE has agreed to in accordance
with 45 C.F.R. Section 164.522. CE may effectuate any and all such notices ofnon-private
information via posting on CE's web site. Associate shall review CE's designated web site for
notice of changes to CE's HIPAA privacy policies and practices on the last day of each calendar
quarter.
4. Termination.
a. Material Breach. In addition to any other provisions in the Contract regarding
breach, a breach by Associate of any provision of this Addendum, as determined by CE, shall
constitute a material breach of this Contract and shall provide grounds for immediate termination
of this Contract by CE pursuant to the provisions of the Contract covering termination for cause,
if any. If the Contract contains no express provisions regarding termination for cause, the
following terms and conditions shall apply:
(1) Default. If Associate refuses or fails to timely perform any of the
provisions of this Contract, CE may notify Associate in writing of the non-performance, and if
not promptly corrected within the time specified, CE may terminate this Contract. Associate
shall continue performance of this Contract to the extent it is not terminated and shall be liable
for excess costs incurred in procuring similar goods or services elsewhere.
(2) Associate's Duties. Notwithstanding termination of this Contract, and
subject to any directions from CE, Associate shall take timely, reasonable and necessary action
to protect and preserve property in the possession of Associate in which CE has an interest.
(3) Compensation. Payment for completed supplies delivered and accepted
by CE shall be at the Contract price. In the event of a material breach under paragraph 4a, CE
may withhold amounts due Associate as CE deems necessary to protect CE against loss from
third party claims of improper use or disclosure and to reimburse CE for the excess costs
incurred in procuring similar goods and services elsewhere.
(4) Erroneous Termination for Default. If after such termination it is
determined, for any reason, that Associate was not in default, or that Associate's action/inaction
was excusable, such termination shall be treated as a termination for convenience, and the rights
and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if this Contract had been terminated for
convenience, as described in this Contract.
b. Reasonable Steps to Cure Breach. If CE knows of a pattern of activity or practice
of Associate that constitutes a material breach or violation of the Associate's obligations under
the provisions of this Addendum or another arrangement and does not terminate this Contract
Page 6 of 9
Colorado Model BA Provision and
Addendum For New or Amended Contracts
Rev. 10/03
pursuant to Section 4(a), then CE shall take reasonable steps to cure such breach or end such
violation, as applicable. If CE's efforts to cure such breach or end such violation are
unsuccessful, CE shall either (i) terminate the Contract, if feasible or (ii) if termination of this
Contract is not feasible, CE shall report Associate's breach or violation to the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human Services.
c. Judicial or Administrative Proceedings. Either party may terminate the
Contract, effective immediately, if (i) the other party is named as a defendant in a criminal
proceeding for a violation of H1PAA, the HIPAA Regulations or other security or privacy laws
or (ii) a fmding or stipulation that the other party has violated any standard or requirement of
HIPAA, the HIl'AA Regulations or other security or privacy laws is made in any administrative
or civil proceeding in which the party has been joined.
d. Effect of Termination.
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, upon termination
of this Contract, for any reason, Associate shall return or destroy all Protected Information that
Associate or its agents or subcontractors still maintain in any form, and shall retain no copies of
such Protected Information. If Associate elects to destroy the PHI, Associate shall certify in
writing to CE that such PHI has been destroyed.
(2) If Associate believes that returning or destroying the Protected
Information is not feasible, Associate shall promptly provide CE notice of the conditions making
return or destruction infeasible. Upon mutual agreement of CE and Associate that return or
destruction of Protected Information is infeasible, Associate shall continue to extend the
protections of Sections 2(a), 2(b), 2(c), 2(d) and 2(e) of this Addendum to such information, and
shall limit further use of such PHI to those purposes that make the return or destruction of such
PHI infeasible.
Iniunctive Relief. CE shall have the right to injunctive and other equitable and legal
relief against Associate or any of its subcontractors or agents in the event of any use or
disclosure of Protected Information in violation of this Contract or applicable law.
Associate acknowledges and agrees that in the event of such impermissible use or
disclosure of CE:
a. Will suffer real, immediate, and irreparable injury which will be prevented by
injunctive relief;
b. That CE has no plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law;
c. That the granting of a preliminary injunction will promote the public interest in
privacy rather than disserve the public interest;
d. That the balance of equities always favors the injunction in such cases;
e. That the injunction will preserve the status quo pending a trial on the merits; and
f. That CE shall not be required to demonstrate a reasonable probability of success on
the merits in order to obtain injunctive relief.

interpreted as a waiver, express or implied, of any of the immunities, rights, benefits, protection,
or other provisions of the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, CRS 24-10-101 et seq. or the
Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. 2671 et seq. as applicable, as now in effect or hereafter
amended.

inapplicable to the terms and conditions of this Addendum.

this Contract, HIPAA or the HIPAA Regulations will be adequate or satisfactory for Associate's
own purposes. Associate is solely responsible for all decisions made by Associate regarding the
safeguarding of PHI.
9. Certification. To the extent that CE determines an examination is necessary in order to
comply with CE's legal obligations pursuant to HIPAA relating to certification of its security
practices, CE or its authorized agents or contractors, may, at CE's expense, examine Associate's
facilities, systems, procedures and records as may be necessary for such agents or contractors to
certify to CE the extent to which Associate's security safeguards comply with HIPAA, the
HIPAA Regulations or this Addendum.
10. Amendment.
a. Amendment to Comkly with Law. The parties acknowledge that state and federal
laws relating to data security and privacy are rapidly evolving and that amendment of this
Addendum may be required to provide for procedures to ensure compliance with such
developments. The parties specifically agree to take such action as is necessary to implement the
standards and requirements of HIPAA, the Privacy Rule, the Final HIPAA Security regulations
at 68 Fed. Reg. 8334 (Feb20, 2003), 45 C.F.R. § 164.314 and other applicable laws relating to

satisfactory written assurance from Associate that Associate will adequately safeguard all
Protected Information. Upon the request of either party, the other party agrees to promptly enter
into negotiations concerning the terms of an amendment to this Addendum embodying written
assurances consistent with the standards and requirements of HIPAA, the Privacy Rule or other
applicable laws. CE may terminate this Contract upon thirty (30) days written notice in the event
(i) Associate does not promptly enter into negotiations to amend this Contract when requested by
CE pursuant to this Section or (ii) Associate does not enter into an amendment to this Contract
providing assurances regarding the safeguarding of PHI that CE, in its sole discretion, deems
sufficient to satisfy the standards and requirements of HIPAA and the Privacy Rule.

HIPAA, the Privacy Rule or other laws relating to security and privacy or PHI, except where
Associate or its subcontractor, employee or agent is a named adverse party.

confer, nor shall anything herein confer, upon any person other than CE, Associate and their
respective successors or assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities whatsoever.

Party Beneficiaries") shall survive termination of this Contract and shall be enforceable by CE as
