- "Covered Entity" or "Provider" means each patient's health care provider that must comply with HIPAA.
- "Protected Health Information" or "PHI" includes all "individually identifiable health information" that is created, transmitted or maintained in any form or medium by IHH on behalf of a Covered Entity. Individually identifiable health information is any information that can be used to identify an individual and that was created, used, or disclosed in (a) the course of providing a health care service such as diagnosis or treatment, or (b) in relation to the payment for the provision of health care services.
- "HIPAA" means the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the regulations issued thereunder, and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act and the regulations issued thereunder.
- Use of the Sites. By using the Sites, you acknowledge and agree that IHH is not providing health care services to or on behalf of you or your Provider through your use. Regardless of whether you are the patient or a Provider, you acknowledge and agree that the Sites serve only as a supplement to each Provider’s care and you should not rely on the accuracy, delivery or receipt of any information transmitted or attempted to be transmitted by or through the Sites, including PHI, for any purpose including without limitation, the purpose of communicating medical conditions or making medical judgments or diagnoses. You agree to verify all information provided through the Sites with your Provider or patient to verify its accuracy and completeness and use a method of communication other than the Sites whenever there is an urgent need for delivery or receipt. You further agree to allow IHH or its designees to remotely monitor your use of the Sites and collect operational data and usage regarding the Sites to assist in the development and improvement of the Sites.
- Use of PHI. IHH may use PHI for our management, administration, data aggregation and legal obligations to the extent such use is permitted or required by the Business Associate Agreement and applicable law. IHH may use or disclose PHI on behalf of, or to provide services to, Covered Entities for purposes of fulfilling IHH’s obligations to such Covered Entities, if such use or disclosure of PHI is permitted or required by the Business Associate Agreement and would not violate HIPAA.
In the event that PHI must be disclosed to a subcontractor or agent, IHH will ensure that the subcontractor or agent agrees to abide by the same restrictions and conditions that apply to IHH under the Business Associate Agreement with respect to PHI, including the implementation of reasonable and appropriate safeguards.
IHH may also use PHI to report violations of law to appropriate federal and state authorities. - Mitigation of Harm. In the event of a use or disclosure of PHI that is in violation of the requirements of the Business Associate Agreement, IHH will mitigate the effect resulting from the violation in accordance with HIPAA and the Business Associate Agreement.
- Access to PHI. As provided in the Business Associate Agreement, IHH will make available to Covered Entities, information necessary for Covered Entity to give individuals their rights of access, amendment, and accounting in accordance with HIPAA regulations.

IHH may distribute information or data which does not constitute PHI, including information that may personally identify you to the extent is it not PHI, to our partners so that we may better serve your needs.
