Does Ada sign a BAA?
Only on some plans or setups
Ada's customer terms forbid processing health information unless an executed HIPAA BAA permits it, and Ada markets its AI agent for use with PHI. No public page describes BAA eligibility, the request path or scope, so this is treated as a contract-based, sales-led option.

By plan
| Plan | BAA | How to get it | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enterprise contracts (Ada is sales-led) | Conditions apply | Through sales | Section 8(b)(2)(ii) of the customer terms (updated August 5, 2026) bars processing personal health information unless an executed HIPAA BAA permits it. Ada's health-insurance page markets HIPAA compliance with PHI redaction and zero data retention at LLM providers. No page states eligibility criteria or how to request a BAA.[1],[2],[3] |
Are the AI features covered?
Vendors often sign a BAA for the core product but leave some AI features out. Here is what Ada Support says about each one.
| AI feature | Under the BAA | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Ada AI Agent | Not stated | The terms tie PHI on the Services to an executed BAA, and Ada markets the AI agent for PHI use. However, the BAA's scope is not published, so coverage of specific AI features cannot be confirmed.[1],[3] |

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.
