Not A Classroom is not a covered entity under HIPAA. It is not a health plan, not a
health care clearinghouse, and not a health care provider that transmits health
information in connection with a covered transaction. It is also not a business
associate: it does not create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health
information on behalf of a covered entity.
The medication-education product transmits no protected health information. A code on
a prescription identifies a medication — which drug, which language — and never a
person. There is no patient identifier in the code, nothing in it is linked to a
prescription record, and scanning one tells us nothing about who scanned it.
HIPAA not applying is not the same as nothing applying. See
breach notification below.
