Abridge
- Health system / enterprise customersThe published BAA takes effect with the customer's Underlying Agreement (service agreement) with Abridge. The Clinician Terms of Use incorporate the BAA 'to the extent applicable'. Abridge's enterprise page lists only contact-us calls to action, and no self-serve individual plan was found.Signs a BAA
DeepScribe
- Customers under an Order FormThe Terms take effect when the customer signs an Order Form, and Exhibit A is the BAA. Affiliates must countersign the BAA. compliance@deepscribe.tech is the security and compliance contact on the security page, not a published BAA-request address.Signs a BAA
If you handle patient data
Either can work. Choose on features and price, then make sure you’re on a plan listed above and the BAA is signed before anyone enters protected health information.
More comparisons
A signed BAA is necessary but not sufficient for HIPAA compliance, which also depends on configuration, access controls, and your own policies. Verdicts summarize the vendor's own published terms as of the date checked; confirm with the vendor and your counsel before sending protected health information. Not legal advice.
