The agreement mandates strict adherence to various state and federal regulations, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Providers must maintain compliance with HIPAA, the HITECH Act, and the Privacy and Security Rule, and are required to enter into a Business Associate Agreement.
