Hipaa Hitech Act

Does the HITECH Act apply in any way shape or form to the retirement plan industry?
I sell software used by the pension administration industry to send and receive information though a secure connection. Now I’ve got some attorney telling one of my prospective clients that we are subject to the HITECH act, but everything I have read says it relates to the healthcare industry and HIPAA. Can anyone help?
HITECH relates to the economic incentive for promotion of electronic health record and expansion of HIPAA privacy and security guidance. Unless you are a covered entity (health care provider, a health care clearinghouse, a health plan) or are a “Business Associate” sharing personal health information with a CE then you must comply with the guidelines.
Not sure how a pension plan falls under HITECH. The HI in HITECH stands Heath Information. Your software maybe subject to regulations under state laws for secure transmission of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Unless you are a BA and transmitting health information HITECH does not apply.
