Does Read AI sign a BAA?
Only on some plans or setups
Read AI signs a BAA and enables HIPAA workspaces only on annual Enterprise+ plans with at least five licenses. HIPAA mode switches off Ada and restricts sharing, downloads and push integrations.
Not fully covered by the BAA: Ada (AI assistant); Meeting reports, recaps and topic summaries.

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.
