PHI de-identified by Business Associate at the request of Covered Entity shall be owned by Covered Entity. All other de-identified PHI shall be owned by Business Associate, provided that Covered Entity shall not be limited or prevented in creating and using its own de-identified PHI, whether de-identified by Covered Entity, Business Associate or a third party.

In the event of a breach of PHI by Business Associate or any employee or agent of Business Associate, Business Associate shall cooperate with Covered Entity in (i) determining which party should provide the notices of breach that are required by 45 C.F.R. § 164. 405 and 45 C.F.R. § 164.406 to individuals and to the media, if media notice is required, (ii) conducting the necessary risk assessment and (iii) providing information required for the notices.

2.5 Use of Subcontractors and Agents.

2.8 Amendment of PHI. Business Associate shall make any amendment(s) to PHI in a designated record set as directed or agreed to by the Covered Entity pursuant to 45 C.F.R. § 164.526, or take other measures as necessary to satisfy Covered Entity’s obligations thereunder. Business Associate shall provide to Covered Entity such information as requested by Covered Entity to permit Covered Entity to respond to a request by an individual for an amendment to their PHI in accordance with the HIPAA Regulations within forty-five (45) days of receipt of a written request from Covered Entity.
