Is Artera HIPAA compliant?

Artera signs a Business Associate Agreement with its customers, which HIPAA requires before a vendor handles patient data for you. Once it's signed, you can use Artera with patient data within the BAA's scope; whether your use is compliant still depends on your setup and your own policies. Artera doesn't say whether the BAA covers its AI features.

Does Artera sign a BAA?

Yes, it signs a BAA

Artera's customer Terms of Service define a BAA covering HIPAA data in its services and incorporate it by reference, and its privacy policy says patient PHI is governed by the BAA or services agreement with the provider. Its AI Agents FAQ says PHI is never used to train models but doesn't say whether the BAA covers the agents.

Based on 4 sources, all from Artera unless marked.

Not confirmed for the AI features: Artera doesn’t say whether its BAA covers Artera AI Agents. Get that in writing before using it with patient data.

Are the AI features covered?

Vendors often sign a BAA for the core product but leave some AI features out. Here is what Artera says about each one.

Artera AI AgentsNot statedThe AI Agents FAQ claims HIPAA compliance, SOC 2 Type 2 and HITRUST, and says PHI and PII are never used to train models. It doesn't mention a BAA or name LLM providers, and the Terms of Service don't mention AI, so whether the agents fall within the BAA is not stated.[3],[4],[1]

  1. Artera — Artera enterprise contract (health systems and practices): updated conditions (our correction after re-checking the vendor's pages).

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.
