Organized Health Care Arrangements

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) defines an Organized Health Care Arrangement (“OHCA”) as an organized system of health care in which more than one covered entity participates and in which the participating covered entities hold themselves out to the public as participating in a joint arrangement and participate in certain joint activities.

As described in the Notice of Privacy Practices, BJC Health’s covered entity affiliates have established one or more OHCAs. This means that health information may be shared between these organizations, for the purposes of participating in joint activities that include at least one of the following:  

  • Utilization review, in which health care decisions by participating covered entities are reviewed by other participating covered entities or by a third party on their behalf.
  • Quality assessment and improvement activities, in which treatment provided by participating covered entities is assessed by other participating covered entities or by a third party on their behalf.
  • Payment activities, if the financial risk for delivering health care is shared, in part or in whole, by participating covered entities through the joint arrangement and if protected health information created or received by a covered entity is reviewed by other participating covered entities or by a third party on their behalf for the purpose of administering the sharing of financial risk.

All BJC Health affiliated facilities and providers participate in an organized health care arrangement with each other (a BJC Health-specific arrangement) and, separately, some of the BJC Health affiliated facilities and providers participate in an organized health care arrangement with all of the Washington University School of Medicine sites. The BJC Health delivery sites that participate in both the BJC Health-specific arrangement and the BJC Health-Washington University School of Medicine arrangement are indicated below with a *. The BJC Health delivery sites that are not identified with a * participate in only the BJC Health-specific organized health care arrangement.
