Notice of Amended Producer Agreement
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) mandated changes to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). To comply with these changes, Aetna has updated their producer agreement.
Effective February 17th 2010, brokers must:
- Promptly notify Aetna of any breach of Personal Health Information (PHI).
- Abide by stricter rules covering the use and disclosure of Personal Health Information (PHI) as referenced in the Notice Contract Addendum.
- Be directly accountable to the Department of Health and Human Services for failure to comply with any of the HIPAA requirements of your producer agreement with Aetna.
You do not need to re-sign your producer agreement. The below amendment takes effect upon notice to you.
