If your application will involve the electronic storage or transmission of
protected health care information that can be used to identify an individual
(name, address, social security number, medical history, etc.), then you may
very well be covered by HIPAA... that is, at least as a business associate. Without
knowing more details of your particular business model/processes, it's hard to
completely determine exactly how your organization would be covered. I would
suggest engaging a HIPAA consultant to assist you further.
