How many AI tools sign a HIPAA BAA?
We checked 250 AI tools against their vendors’ own terms, plan by plan. Here’s what the data says about which AI tools healthcare teams can use with patient data, and where the gaps are. The numbers update as we re-check vendors.
The BAA usually depends on the plan
74 of the 160 tools that offer a BAA sign it only on certain plans, editions or setups, most often an enterprise or healthcare plan. Free and personal accounts are rarely covered: of the 55 tools that list a free plan, 5 include a BAA on it. See which ones.
- Sign a BAA on all listed plans: 86
- Some plans or setups only: 74
- No BAA: 30
- Not confirmed: 60

The AI features are where the gaps are
A BAA for the product doesn’t always cover its AI. Of the 160 tools that offer a BAA and that we checked feature by feature, 51 (32%) leave at least one AI feature fully or partly outside it, and 92 (57%) don’t say whether at least one AI feature is covered. Only 43 (27%) state that all the AI features we list are inside the BAA. See the tools that leave AI features out.
How you get the BAA
For each tool that offers a BAA, the easiest route on a qualifying plan:

Method
Each verdict comes from the vendor’s own trust center, HIPAA page, help center or legal terms, with a link and the date we checked it. When a vendor’s pages don’t say, we record “not confirmed”, never a guess. Percentages are of the tools we track, not of the whole market. How we check.
