Is Berries HIPAA compliant?
Berries Health Inc. signs a Business Associate Agreement for Berries, which HIPAA requires before a vendor handles patient data for you. Once it's signed, you can use Berries with patient data within the BAA's scope; whether your use is compliant still depends on your setup and your own policies.

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.
