Does Freed sign a BAA?
Yes, it signs a BAA
Freed builds its BAA into its Platform Terms of Use as Schedule A, so every user accepts it when signing up, including solo clinicians on self-serve plans. Users can also request a signed copy, and larger organizations can get an organization-wide BAA.

Signs a BAA
By plan
| Plan | BAA | How to get it | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter / Core / Premier (self-serve individual clinicians) | Signs a BAA | Included in the termsRequest page | The BAA is Schedule A of the Platform Terms of Use and is accepted at signup. A countersigned copy can be requested through a form linked from the help article. The FAQ says all users must accept the BAA terms.[1],[2] |
| Groups (clinics and health systems) | Signs a BAA | Through salessales@getfreed.ai | Larger organizations can get a separate organization-wide BAA. The pricing page lists 'Organization-wide BAA' as an admin feature but does not tie it to a named plan. Freed says it maintains BAAs with all enterprise customers.[1],[3],[4],[5] |
Are the AI features covered?
Vendors often sign a BAA for the core product but leave some AI features out. Here is what Freed says about each one.
| AI feature | Under the BAA | Details |
|---|---|---|
| AI scribe note generation | Covered | Freed says it does not use PHI for AI training and trains only on de-identified notes. It says it has a BAA with Microsoft (Azure) and requires vendors that handle PHI to sign BAAs, but it does not name its AI model providers. Audio is deleted once the note is generated.[2],[3],[5] |

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.
