Answer:

There are two types of non-covered entities under HIPAA: business associates and hybrid entities.

Step-by-step explanation:

HIPAA allows exemption for entities providing only worker's compensation plans, employers with less than 50 employees as well as government funded programs such as food stamps and community health centers.
