|---|---|---|---|
| ModMed EMA EHR customers (ModMed Scribe add-on) | Not confirmed | Not stated | ModMed's public pages give no BAA terms for EMA practices. A 2016 ModMed telehealth privacy policy says ModMed may be a provider's business associate under a BAA, and its API terms require app developers handling PHI to have BAAs with ModMed or each ModMed customer. Neither confirms a BAA covering EMA or ModMed Scribe.[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 Modernizing Medicine, Inc. (ModMed) says about each one.

|---|---|---|
| ModMed Scribe (ambient listening and note drafting in EMA) | Not stated | ModMed says Scribe is built into EMA and trained on de-identified data drawn from over 750 million patient encounters. No page checked mentions HIPAA, a BAA, audio retention or the underlying model provider.[4],[5] |

Change history
- ModMed Scribe — ModMed EMA EHR customers (ModMed Scribe add-on): 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.
