Is Cohere Health HIPAA compliant?
Not confirmed. We couldn't find a Business Associate Agreement offer on Cohere Health's own pages. Without a signed BAA, keep patient data out of it.
Does Cohere Health sign a BAA?
Not confirmed
Cohere Health sells AI for prior authorization, utilization management, payment integrity and appeals, mainly to health plans. Its privacy policy says it handles PHI as a business associate of its clients, but no official page checked mentions a BAA, so BAA status is unknown. This is not the Cohere LLM API.

Are the AI features covered?
Vendors often sign a BAA for the core product but leave some AI features out. Here is what Cohere Health says about each one.

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.
