Comment: A number of commenters urged the Department to expand or clarify the definition of «covered entity» to include certain entities other than health care clearinghouses, health plans, and health care providers who conduct standard transactions.

A department or component of a health plan or health care provider that transforms nonstandard information into standard data elements or standard transactions (or vice versa) is not a clearinghouse for purposes of this rule, unless it also performs these functions for another entity.

However, where the downstream transaction is not conducted on behalf of the health care provider, the provider does not become a covered entity due to the downstream transaction.

We do not consider a financial institution to be acting on behalf of a covered entity, and therefore no business associate contract is required, when it processes consumer - conducted financial transactions by debit, credit or other payment card, clears checks, initiates or processes electronic funds transfers, or conducts any other activity that directly facilitates or effects the transfer of funds for compensation for health care.

Issuers of other long - term care policies are considered to be health plans under this rule and the Transactions Rule.

Response: We agree that online companies are covered entities under the rule if they otherwise meet the definition of health care provider or health plan and satisfy the other requirements of the rule, i.e., providers must also transmit health information in electronic form in connection with a HIPAA transaction.

HIPAA restricts the type of entities covered by the rule to three broad categories: health care providers that transmit health information in HIPAA standard transactions, health plans, and health care clearinghouses.

Except as otherwise provided, the provisions of this part apply to covered entities: health plans, health care clearinghouses, and health care providers who transmit health information in electronic form in connection with any transaction referred to in section 1173 (a)(1) of the Act.

Section 1172 of the Act makes the standard adopted under part C applicable to: (1) Health plans, (2) health care clearinghouses, and (3) health care providers who transmit health information in electronic form in connection with transactions referred to in section 1173 (a)(1) of the Act (hereinafter referred to as the «covered entities&raHealth plans, (2) health care clearinghouses, and (3) health care providers who transmit health information in electronic form in connection with transactions referred to in section 1173 (a)(1) of the Act (hereinafter referred to as the «covered entities&rahealth care clearinghouses, and (3) health care providers who transmit health information in electronic form in connection with transactions referred to in section 1173 (a)(1) of the Act (hereinafter referred to as the «covered entities&rahealth care providers who transmit health information in electronic form in connection with transactions referred to in section 1173 (a)(1) of the Act (hereinafter referred to as the «covered entities&rahealth information in electronic form in connection with transactions referred to in section 1173 (a)(1) of the Act (hereinafter referred to as the «covered entities»).

We note that we do not consider a financial institution to be acting on behalf of a covered entity, and therefore no business associate contract is required, when it processes consumer - conducted financial transactions by debit, credit or other payment card, Start Printed Page 82505clears checks, initiates or processes electronic funds transfers, or conducts any other activity that directly facilitates or effects the transfer of funds for compensation for health care.

A rule establishing a unique identifier for employers to use in electronic health care transactions, a rule establishing a unique identifier for providers for such transactions, and a rule establishing standards for the security of electronic information systems have been proposed.

However, our jurisdiction under the statute is limited to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and health care providers who transmit any health information electronically in connection with any of the standard financial or administrative transactions in section 1173 (a) of the Act.

We do not agree, however, that covered entities should be expected to maintain health information outside of an electronic system, particularly as health care providers and health plans extend their reliance on electronic transactions.

A health care provider who is an employee and is administering drug testing on behalf of the employer, but does not conduct standard transactions, is not a covered entity.

Another social service worker may provide services that do not meet the rule's definition of health care, or may not transmit information in a standard transaction.

We agree that the underlying statutory goal of standardizing financial and administrative health care transactions dictates that exceptions should be granted only on narrow grounds.

As noted by the commenters, health care entities now typically operate in a multi-state environment, so already make the choice of law judgements that are necessary in multi-state transactions.

Electronic transactions have achieved tremendous savings in the health care system and electronic records have enabled significant improvements in the quality and coordination of health care.

These are the entities described in section 1172 (a)(1): Health plans, health care clearinghouses, and health care providers who transmit any health information in electronic form in connection with a transaction referred Start Printed Page 82477to in section 1173 (a)(1) of the Act (a «standard transaction&raHealth plans, health care clearinghouses, and health care providers who transmit any health information in electronic form in connection with a transaction referred Start Printed Page 82477to in section 1173 (a)(1) of the Act (a «standard transaction&rahealth care clearinghouses, and health care providers who transmit any health information in electronic form in connection with a transaction referred Start Printed Page 82477to in section 1173 (a)(1) of the Act (a «standard transaction&rahealth care providers who transmit any health information in electronic form in connection with a transaction referred Start Printed Page 82477to in section 1173 (a)(1) of the Act (a «standard transaction&rahealth information in electronic form in connection with a transaction referred Start Printed Page 82477to in section 1173 (a)(1) of the Act (a «standard transaction»).

However, consistent with the second recommendation above, the statutory cite for «medical care» was added to the definition of «health plan» in the Transactions Rule, and thus is reflected in this final rule.

With regard to public health agencies that are also health care providers, the health care provider «component» of the agency is the covered entity if that component conducts standard transactions.
