Congratulations! You are one step closer to being HIPAA compliant. Once your BA signs this BAA, your HIPAA score should move a little bit closer to 100%.

REMINDER: This is a recurring element of HIPAA Compliance. You need to send BAAs for signature to each of your BAs and receive and store those signed BAAs every 12 months.
