Frequently asked questions

When should a healthcare provider use this NDA?
Use this NDA when a clinic, practice, provider, consultant, vendor, or healthcare partner may access patient data, PHI, billing records, clinical protocols, payer information, or other confidential medical business information.
Does this NDA replace a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement?
No. This NDA addresses confidentiality and HIPAA-aware handling obligations, but a separate Business Associate Agreement may be required when a business associate relationship exists under HIPAA.
What breach notice period should be included?
The agreement should require prompt written notice after discovery of a suspected or confirmed breach. Many organizations choose a short operational deadline, such as 5 days, while also preserving any stricter legal notification requirements.
Can confidentiality obligations continue after the NDA ends?
Yes. The NDA should state that confidentiality duties survive termination for the selected period, and obligations relating to PHI or legally protected information may continue as long as required by applicable law.
