Hello, I'm planning to start my own billing business and into market research. I need your help with a few questions.  1. Once I get a client, what are the paper works i need to get done. I have only heard of  a contract and a BAA.  2. Can I prepare the contract myself with the help of books available online  or should I hire an attorney?  Similarly can I also prepare the BAA myself?  3.  are there any other paperwork that I need to complete?  I will appreciate your help in this regard. thank you.

PMRNC:
I always recommend an attorney for the contract, one who won't just help write/draft it but stand by it and be available if needed. The BAA can def be done quite simply, but it's a good idea to have a compliance plan ready so that it can stand for your BAA, billing companies don't realize the BAA is a promise of compliance and how can you promise compliance w/out a plan?

williamportor:
Please excuse my ignorance, but what is a BAA?

PMRNC:
Business Associates Agreement. It's a requirement for Business Associates under HIPAA.

Thank you LInda. Can you please explain a little bit more on having a plan before writing BAA?
