Covered Entity Status Clause Samples
The Covered Entity Status clause defines whether a party to an agreement qualifies as a 'covered entity' under specific regulations, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This clause typically clarifies the party's role and responsibilities regarding the handling of protected information, and may specify the obligations that arise from this status, such as compliance with privacy and security rules. Its core function is to ensure all parties understand their regulatory obligations and to allocate compliance responsibilities appropriately, thereby reducing legal uncertainty and risk.
