No. Covered entities need to execute a business associate agreement with each of their business associates. Brokers/consultants are among other groups for which business associate agreements are required. Other examples of business associates include external auditors, third-party administrators, attorneys, accountants, claims reviewers, payment-processing vendors, and claims-entry vendors.
