limited to the remaining unencumbered balance of these funds. If the total funds appropriated for

number 09 FLA 00111. For purposes of this Addendum, the State is referred to as "Covered Entity" or "CE" and

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

1996, 42 U.S.C. § 1320d - 1320d-8 ("HIPAA") 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 HIPAA 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.

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.

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.

Colorado Model BA Provision and
Addendum For New or Amended Contracts

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

individual and provide direction to Associate.
3. Obligations of CE.
a. Safeguards During Transmission. CE shall be responsible for using appropriate safeguards to

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.

Associate of any provision of this Addendum, as determined by CE, shall constitute a material breach of this

termination for cause, the following terms and conditions shall apply:

(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 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
