Is Nextiva AI HIPAA compliant?
Only on the right plan. Nextiva signs a Business Associate Agreement with its customers on Nextiva HIPAA service configuration. Other plans aren't covered, so keep patient data out of them. Nextiva doesn't say whether the BAA covers its AI features.
Does Nextiva AI sign a BAA?
Only on some plans or setups
Nextiva signs a BAA for a restricted HIPAA configuration of its phone and contact-center service, with some features (such as voicemail transcripts by email) switched off. Nextiva does not say whether its AI features, including the XBert agent and call summaries, are covered by that BAA.
Not confirmed for the AI features: Nextiva doesn’t say whether its BAA covers XBert AI agent; Call transcription, AI summaries and sentiment. Get that in writing before using them with patient data.

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.
