Another violation common in these clinics is not executing a BAA when working with third-party vendors.\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-item\">\n                        <div class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-title bdt-accordion-title bdt-flex bdt-flex-middle bdt-flex-between\" id=\"bdt-ep-accordion-are-business-associate-agreements-required-in-chiropractic-and-dental-practices\" data-accordion-index=\"2\" data-title=\"are-business-associate-agreements-required-in-chiropractic-and-dental-practices\" role=\"heading\">\n\n                                                            <span class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-icon bdt-flex-align-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\n                                                                            <span class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-icon-closed\">\n                                            <i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa-fw ti ti-plus\"><\/i>                                        <\/span>\n                                    \n                                                                            <span class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-icon-opened\">\n                                            <i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa-fw ti ti-minus\"><\/i>                                        <\/span>\n                                    \n                                <\/span>\n                            \n                            <span class=\"bdt-ep-title-text bdt-flex bdt-flex-middle\">\n\n                                                                Are Business Associate Agreements required in chiropractic and dental practices?                            <\/span>\n\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"bdt-ep-accordion-content bdt-accordion-content\">\n                            Yes.
