This Business Associate Addendum ("Addendum") is a part of the Contract between the
Department of Human Services, Office of Early Childhood and Eagle County Department of
Health and Human Services, contract number 14 IHA 62064 via Amendment #4 contract number
18 IHIA 98534. 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 ("HIPAA") as
amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("ARRA")/HITECH
Act (P.L. 111-005), and its implementing regulations promulgated by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, 45 C.F.R. Parts 160, 162 and 164 (the
"HIPAA Rules") and other applicable laws, as amended.
C. As part of the HIPAA Rules, the CE is required to enter into a written 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:
Definitions.
a. Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Addendum shall have
the definitions set forth in the HIPAA Rules at 45 C.F.R. Parts 160, 162 and 164, as amended.
In the event of any conflict between the mandatory provisions of the HIPAA Rules and the
provisions of this Contract, the HIPAA Rules shall control. Where the provisions of this
Contract differ from those mandated by the HIPAA Rules, but are nonetheless permitted by the
HIPAA Rules, the provisions of this Contract shall control.

used to identify the individual, and shall have the meaning given to such term under the HIPAA
Rules, 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
received, maintained or transmitted by Associate on CE's behalf. To the extent Associate is a

and procedures for accounting, access and amendment of Associate's PHI.

activity, or service that involves CE's Protected Information, in order to carry out the
responsibilities of this Agreement.
2. Obligations of Associate.
a. Permitted Uses. Associate shall not use Protected Information except for the
purpose of performing Associate's obligations under this Contract and as permitted under this
Addendum. Further, Associate shall not use Protected Information in any manner that would

Protected Information: (i) for the proper management and administration of Associate; (ii) to
carry out the legal responsibilities of Associate; or (iii) for Data Aggregation purposes for the
Health Care Operations of CE. Additional provisions, if any, governing permitted uses of
Protected Information are set forth in Attachment A to this Addendum. Associate accepts full
responsibility for any penalties incurred as a result of Associate's breach of the HIPAA Rules.
b. Permitted Disclosures. Associate shall not disclose Protected Information in any
manner that would constitute a violation of the HIPAA Rules if disclosed by CE, except that
Associate may disclose Protected Information: (i) in a manner permitted pursuant to this
Contract; (ii) for the proper management and administration of Associate; (iii) as required by
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
164.5020)(1). To the extent that Associate discloses Protected Information to a third party
Subcontractor, Associate must obtain, prior to making any such disclosure: (i) reasonable
assurances through execution of a written agreement with 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 that
such third party will notify Associate within two (2) 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 A.

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

provide services under the Contract, and such Subcontractors or agents receive or have access to
Protected Information, each Subcontractor or agent shall sign an agreement with Associate
containing the same provisions as this Addendum and further identifying CE as a third party
beneficiary with rights of enforcement and indemnification from such Subcontractors or agents
in the event of any violation of such Subcontractor or agent agreement. The Agreement between
the Associate and Subcontractor or agent shall ensure that the Subcontractor or agent agrees to at

Information. Associate shall implement and maintain sanctions against agents and
Subcontractors that violate such restrictions and conditions and shall mitigate the effects of any
such violation.
f. Access to Protected Information. If Associate maintains Protected Information
contained within CE's Designated Record Set, Associate shall make Protected Information

the request. Any denial of amendment of Protected Information maintained by Associate or its
agents or Subcontractors shall be the responsibility of CE.

CE's responsibility to prepare and deliver any such accounting requested. Associate shall not
disclose any Protected Information except as set forth in Section 2(b) of this Addendum.
i. Governmental Access to Records. Associate shall keep records and make its
internal practices, books and records relating to the use and disclosure of Protected Information
available to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (the
"Secretary"), in a time and manner designated by the Secretary, for purposes of determining
CE's or Associate's compliance with the HIPAA Rules. 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 when the Secretary is investigating CE. Associate
shall cooperate with the Secretary if the Secretary undertakes an investigation or compliance
review of Associate's policies, procedures or practices to determine whether Associate is
complying with the HIPAA Rules, and permit access by the Secretary during normal business
hours to its facilities, books, records, accounts, and other sources of information, including
Protected Information, that are pertinent to ascertaining compliance.
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 HIPAA Rules 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.
in. Associate's Insurance. Associate shall maintain 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

n. Notice of Privacy Practices. Associate shall be responsible for reviewing CE's
Notice of Privacy Practices, available on CE's external website, to determine any requirements

Page 4 of 10
Colorado Model BA Provision and
Addendum For New or Amended Contracts
Rev, May 2013
EXHIBIT J
o. Notification of Breach. During the term of this Contract, Associate shall notify
CE within two (2) business days of any suspected or actual breach of security, intrusion or
unauthorized use or disclosure of PHI and/or any actual or suspected use or disclosure of data in
violation of any applicable federal or state laws or regulations. Associate shall not initiate
notification to affected individuals per the HIPAA Rules without prior notification and approval
of CE. Information provided to CE shall include the identification of each individual whose
unsecured PHI has been, or is reasonably believed to have been accessed, acquired or disclosed
during the breach. 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.
p. 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; and (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. 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.
q. Safeguards During Transmission. Associate shall be responsible for using
appropriate safeguards, including encryption of PHI, to maintain and ensure the confidentiality,
integrity and security of Protected Information transmitted pursuant to the Contract, in
accordance with the standards and requirements of the HIPAA Rules.
r. Restrictions and Confidential Communications. Within ten (10) business days of
notice by CE of a restriction upon uses or disclosures or request for confidential communications
pursuant to 45 C.F.R. Section 164.522, Associate will restrict the use or disclosure of an
individual's Protected Information. 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, including encryption of PHI, to maintain and ensure the confidentiality, integrity and
security of Protected Information transmitted pursuant to the Contract, in accordance with the
standards and requirements of the HIPAA Rules.

EXHIBIT' J
b. Notice of Changes. CE maintains a copy of its Notice of Privacy Practices on its
website. CE shall provide Associate with any changes in, or revocation of, permission to use or
disclose Protected Information, to the extent that 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.
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
pursuant to Section 4(a), then CE shall take reasonable steps to cure such breach or end such
violation.. 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. If Associate knows of a pattern of activity or practice of a Subcontractor or
Page 6 of 10

Addendum For New or Amended Contracts
Rev. May 2013
EXHIBIT J
agent that constitutes a material breach or violation of the Subcontractor's or agent's obligations
under the written agreement between Associate and the Subcontractor or agent, Associate shall
take reasonable steps to cure such breach or end such violation, if feasible.
C. Judicial or Administrative Proceedings. Either party may terminate the

witnesses, or otherwise, in the event of litigation or administrative proceedings being
commenced against CE, its directors, officers or employees based upon a claimed violation of
the HIPAA Rules 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.
