We lease a medical office and have one spare room. Our docs want to lease this space to a non-medical tenant who works for one of the organizations who sponsors medical seminars and offers CME's for physicians (not just ours) who attend these seminars.
Since the person is not a medical provider and does not provide direct services for our clinic (no B.A. agreement?), is this acceptable within HIPAA rules. We would require a separate phone line, but I can't isolate her from our internet unless I require a separate internet account for her. I would also allow her access only when we are in the office.
What other issues do we need to be concerned with or should we not do it at all?
