Is Pearson Assessments a business associate [footnote 3] to customers who use Pearson Assessments MICROTEST Q™ software or scoring services? Should these customers enter into a business associate agreement with Pearson Assessments?
No. Business associates must receive, create or use individually identifiable health information [footnote 4] for or on behalf of a covered entity. Our customers may be covered entities, but they do not disclose individually identifiable health information to us. For that reason, Pearson Assessments is not a business associate to its customers.
