Can a PET Facility Make Changes to the Posted NOPR Business Associates Agreement (BAA)?
No. Each participating PET facility must execute a HIPAA Business Associates Agreement (BAA). To facilitate your registration, the BAA posted on the NOPR Web site must be executed. We understand that you may wish to use your own BAA. However, because of the number of facilities expected to participate in the NOPR, it is not practical for the NOPR to provide legal review for different agreements to ensure compliance with HIPAA requirements.
