Background
The YMCA of Dane County, Inc. was incorporated in 1886. It is a member of the YUSA national organization. There are three locations in Dane County that serve the greater Madison, Wisconsin service area. This YMCA is a traditional “Y” with numerous programs for fitness, aquatics and overall health improvement.

Chronic Disease Based programs
We offer Chronic Disease Based programs in partnership with the YUSA. These include Diabetes Prevention, Livestrong Cancer and Pedaling for Parkinson’s programs. We also participate in Exert, a University based Alzheimer’s program. In order to participate in the Diabetes program we have secured a National Provider ID number. These Chronic Disease based programs put us in the position of likely being a “health care provider” and a “covered entity” subject to the rules and regulations of HIPAA.

Standard Fitness and Well Being Oriented Programs
Notwithstanding the above, the overwhelming majority of the programs and activities we offer on behalf of members and program participants are basic fitness oriented activities not meeting the definition of work performed by a “health care provider”. Thus, these programs and activities should not be subject to the specific rules and regulations of HIPAA. Examples of these programs include, but are not limited to, the following:
Sports (basketball, soccer, volleyball, football, lacrosse, track, swim, pickleball) 
Fitness (BodyPump, Boot Camp, Cycling, Insanity, Strength, Yoga, Zumba, Personal Training, Four Core Community Fitness, Nutrition Classes)
Special Events (Friday night at the Y, seasonal festivals, birthday parties) 
Youth Programs (Youth in Government, Karate, Dance, Gymnastics)
Child Care (Early Childhood Education, Licensed Preschool, School Age Care, Camps) Adaptive (Intellectual and developmental disability activities – Day programs, Special Olympics, Bowling, Basketball, Dinner & Movie Outings

Hybrid Declaration for HIPAA Purposes
In conducting some programs that may be subject to HIPAA and others that would not, the YMCA of Dane County would qualify as a “Hybrid Entity” under HIPAA.

We hereby confirm the YMCA of Dane County’s declaration that it shall operate as a Hybrid Entity for the purposes of compliance with the rules and regulations of HIPAA. Specifically, we will treat the Chronic Disease Based programs listed above as being subject to HIPAA compliance, whereas the Standard Fitness and Well Being Programs are Not subject to HIPAA compliance.
